2. Introduction

3. Homer
Homer is a Greek poet that wrote The Odyssey and The Illiad
among other works.

4. The Plot
It follows the Greek hero Odysseus, king of Ithaca, and his
journey home after the Trojan War. After the war, which
lasted ten years, his journey from Troy to Ithaca, via Africa
and southern Europe, lasted for ten additional years
during which time he encountered many perils and all of
his crewmates were killed. In his absence, Odysseus was
assumed dead, and his wife Penelope and son
Telemachus had to contend with a group of unruly suitors
who were competing for Penelope's hand in marriage.

dolor. Amet aliquam id diam maecenas ultricies mi eget
mauris. Nibh nisl condimentum id venenatis a
condimentum. Et odio pellentesque diam volutpat
commodo. Id aliquet risus feugiat in.

5. Odysseus
Odysseus is a combination of the self-made, self-assured man
and the embodiment of the standards and mores of his culture.
He is favored by the gods and respected and admired by the
mortals. Even the wrath of Poseidon does not keep him from his
homecoming. He is confident that he represents virtue even
when a modern audience might not be so sure. He is also a living
series of contradictions, a much more complicated character
than we would expect to find in the stereotypical epic hero.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do
eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.
Pulvinar mattis nunc sed blandit libero volutpat sed cras. Enim
sed faucibus turpis in eu mi. Et ligula ullamcorper malesuada
proin libero nunc consequat interdum varius. Gravida neque
convallis a cras semper auctor.

7. Odysseus’
Adventures

8. Trojan
Horse
In Greek mythology, the Trojan Horse was a wooden horse
said to have been used by the Greeks during the Trojan War
to enter the city of Troy and win the war. The Trojan Horse is
not mentioned in Homer's Iliad, with the poem ending
before the war is concluded, and it is only briefly mentioned
in the Odyssey.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed
do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna
aliqua. Pulvinar mattis nunc sed blandit libero volutpat sed
cras. Enim sed faucibus turpis in eu mi. Et ligula ullamcorper
malesuada proin libero nunc consequat interdum varius.
Turpis cursus in hac habitasse. Donec et odio pellentesque
diam volutpat commodo sed egestas. Tellus molestie nunc
non blandit massa.

9. The
Cyclops
In Cyclops, the fifth-century BC play by Euripides, a chorus of satyrs offers comic relief based on the encounter of Odysseus and
Polyphemus. The third-century BC poet Callimachus makes the Hesiodic Cyclopes the assistants of smith-god Hephaestus; as
does Virgil in the Latin epic Aeneid, where he seems to equate the Hesiodic and Homeric Cyclopes.

10. The Sirens
In the twelfth book of the Odyssey, as Odysseus (Ulysses) is
leaving Kirkê's island, Kirkê informs Odysseus of the dangers of
the sea that he will encounter on his way home, specifically
warning him of the Sirens. Sirens are beautiful women of the sea,
who sing songs that hypnotize or lure and trick men into
shipwrecking their boats on rocky shores because they follow the
irresistible songs. Odysseus instructs his crew to tie him to the
mast, telling them to ignore whatever he may say while under the
sway of the Siren's song. The sailors stuff their ears with beeswax
and then tie Odysseus tightly to the mast. Odysseus is the only
one who hears the siren song, while the others ears are covered
and they prevent Odysseus from following the song.

11. Lotus
Eaters
In the Odyssey specifically, the Lotus Eaters are
mysterious people who live on a small island.
They regularly consume lotus plants that cause
them to live in a perpetual state of bliss. Their
lifestyle causes them to lose all sense of
urgency. Odysseus and his men spend some
time on the island of the Lotus Eaters.
