“The Odyssey,” attributed to the ancient Greek poet Homer, stands as one of the greatest epic poems of Western literature. This timeless work, believed to have been composed in the 8th century BCE, narrates the arduous and adventurous journey of Odysseus as he seeks to return home after the Trojan War. The narrative unfolds over 24 books, known as “books” or “chapters,” and is a testament to the power of storytelling in preserving cultural and moral values. Odysseus encounters mythical creatures, faces divine intervention, and battles his inner struggles during his prolonged absence. The epic’s enduring appeal lies in its exploration of human resilience, the complexities of identity, and the inexorable forces of fate.
