The Odyssey
The incredible sequel to The Iliad, presented here in the Alexander Pope translation.
In the aftermath of the events of the Trojan war, Ulysses sets sail with his men for the shores of Ithaca, his home, but a failure to properly honour the gods enrages them, and Poseidon exacts revenge on Ulysses, keeping him from his destination and forcing him to wander the world. Meanwhile Penelope, Ulysses's wife, must fend off the advances of a group of miscreant suitors who are convinced that her husband must have perished. A tale of heroes and gods, it is one of the pillars of the Western canon.
