The Odyssey by - Homer

Description: With the Trojan war finally over after many long years, Odysseus wants nothing more than a swift journey home where his throne and beloved wife, Penelope, await him. But Poseidon, the sea god, bears a grudge against him and plans to prevent his return across the wine-dark sea to Ithaca.

One of the greatest adventure stories of all time, and one of the most widely eluded to, this epic work chronicles Odysseus's return from the Trojan War and the trials he endures on his journey home. The story is full of monsters and magic and mystery and an assortment of deities who freely meddle in the affairs of men.
