The Odyssey is an ancient Greek epic about the challenges and
hardships Odysseus faces in his rambling ten-year journey homeward
after the Trojan War and in the days following his arrival on the
island of Ithaka, his homeland. Depicting his own and others'
social displacement after the war, and describing his successive
challenges against human, natural and supernatural adversaries, the
epic dramatizes his problematic process of healing from the trauma
of war and his slow, arduous attempt to recover a sense of personal
identity among his people, his wife, his son, and others who have
longed for his return. In depicting the struggles of Odysseus, his
wife Penelope, and his son Telemakhos, as well as key minor
characters such as the slaves Eurykleia and Eumaios, in response to
their social displacement, The Odyssey offers us literature's first
full-length narrative focused on the everyday heroism of ordinary
human beings in the face of implacable misfortune and adversity.
