The Odyssey in Short



The Odyssey is the tale of Odysseus, King of Ithaca and famous warrior of Troy. Spending an agonizing twenty years in exile from his home and beloved, he struggles bravely on the immortal quest known as The Odyssey. Through persecution by both man, god, and sea, he returns to his home only to face one other horror- the destruction and siege laid to his lands by treachery, disloyalty, and cruelty.

Allen Mandelbaum is the translator of the edition I use in contrast to Beowulf.
