By its evocation of a real or imaged heroic age, its contrasts of
character and its variety of adventure, above all by its sheer
narrative power, the Odyssey has won and preserved its place among
the greatest tales in the world. It tells of Odysseus' adventurous
wanderings as he returns from the long war at Troy to his home in
the Greek island of Ithaca, where his wife Penelope and his son
Telemachus have been waiting for him for twenty years. He meets a
one-eyed giant, Polyphemus the Cyclops; he visits the underworld;
he faces the terrible monsters Scylla and Charybdis; he extricates
himself from the charms of Circe and Calypso. After these and
numerous other legendary encounters he finally reaches home, where,
disguised as a beggar, he begins to plan revenge on the suitors who
have for years been besieging Penelope and feasting on his own meat
and wine with insolent impunity.
