The Odyssey is an epic poem that tells the story of Odysseus, king of Ithaca,
and his ten-year journey home after the Trojan War. The poem was performed
orally by an aoidos or rhapsode and was more likely to be heard than read. The
narrative significance of certain groups in the poem, such as women and
slaves, is still reflected on by scholars. The poem begins after the end of
the Trojan War, from which Odysseus has still not returned because he angered
Poseidon, the god of the sea. Accompanied by Athena, Odysseus' son Telemachus
departs for the Greek mainland to the household of Nestor. Odysseus encounters
many perils during his journey, including the Cyclops, Circe, and the sirens.
After returning home, Odysseus tests the loyalty of his household and kills
the suitors who have been courting his wife Penelope. The Odyssey is widely
regarded as a timeless classic and remains one of the oldest works of extant
literature commonly read by Western audiences.
