SUMMARY:
 Odyssey battles internal and external conflict to take part in the Trojan
War. It is at a time when his son Telemachus, is only a month old. Ten years
after the war, Odysseus retraces his steps back home. By that time, Telemachus
is twenty and living with his mother Penelope in Ithaca. His mother has to deal
with 108 suitors, who are boisterous and adamant that she should agree to
marriage.

Athena, Odysseus’s guardian, decides with the King of Gods according to Greek
mythology, Zeus, to take the form of Mentes, a Taphian chief and speak to
Telemachus. She urges the boy to look for his father. Telemachus and Athena
witness Phemius the bard entertaining the rowdy suitors with "Return from Troy".
Even as Penelope objects, urged by Athena, Telemachus orders Phemius to
read on.

Athena finds Telemachus a ship and crew and helps him to depart for the
mainland. Welcomed by the Nestor family, Telemachus then embarks on a land
journey alongside Sparta, Nestor's son. He chances upon Helen and Menelaus
bear witness of a meeting with sea-god Proteus. They inform Telemachus that
his father has been captured by Calypso, a nymph.

Odysseus, meanwhile, spends seven years in captivity. He is released only to

incur the wrath of Poseidon, the sea god who was not present on Mount
Olympus when Athena and Zeus interacted. Escaping the wreckage, Odysseus
swims ashore exhausted and falls asleep. He then seeks the hospitality of Arete
and Alcinous. Odysseus struggles through a situation where his identity is always
in doubt.

A raid on his twelve ships by storms, lotus eaters and blinded with a wooden
stake, leaves the hero a broken man. A boon from Aeolus, the wind god helped
Odysseus harness all the winds. However, with destiny playing truant, Odysseus
does not retain the only 'safe' wind that could blow him homeward. His
escapades with the pantheon of Greek gods and goddesses, a treacherous sailor,
Laestrygones the cannibal, Circe, the witch goddess and the spirit of Tiresias,
leave Odysseus spent and longing for home.

Odysseus' lucky meeting with the Phaeacians, buys him a homebound journey.
Disguised as a beggar, Odysseus learns about his family. He meets Penelope
with the intention of testing her love for him. Eurycleia, the housekeeper,
discovers Odysseus’ identity and all is well when he strings his own bow as part
of the suitor competition set by Penelope.
