The Odyssey

by Homer

The war ended ten years ago. He still hasn't made it home.

Odysseus takes a decade to sail back from Troy, losing ships and crew to storms, monsters, and hosts who will not let him leave. At home in Ithaca his wife stalls a house full of suitors, and the story's second half is less about the sea than about what he has to do to be recognised.
