One of two renowned epic tales from ancient Greece, commonly linked to Homer – a revered Greek poet known for penning the Iliad – is considered not only a significant figure in literary history but also as one of the most impactful authors throughout human civilization. The Odyssey is one such timeless masterpiece.

With Odysseus believed to be deceased, his wife Penelope and son Telemachus face challenges as they navigate a crowd of potential suitors eagerly courting Penelope during her husband’s prolonged absence.
