The Odyssey is one of the two major epic poems from Ancient Greek that were written by Homer.

The poem tells the story of the Greek hero called Odysseus (or Ulysses in subsequent Roman mythology) and his journey back home after the Greek victory in Troy. The trip took him ten years and he had to overcome numerous dangers and chellenges, while his family had assumed that he was dead.
