The Odyssey (Greek:Odisseia) is one of two major ancient Greek epic poems attributed to Homer.It is, in part, a sequel to the Iliad, the other work traditionally ascribed to Homer.The poem is fundamental to the modern Western canon. Indeed it is the second -the Iliad being the first- extant work of Western literature. It was probably composed near the end of the eighth century BC, somewhere in Ionia, the then Greek-controlled coastal region of what is now Turkey.The poem mainly centers on the Greek hero Odysseus (or Ulysses, as he was known in Roman myths) and his long journey home following the fall of Troy.It takes Odysseus ten years to reach Ithaca after the ten-year Trojan War.In his absence, it is assumed he has died, and his wife Penelope and son Telemachus must deal with a group of unruly suitors, called Proci, competing for Penelope's hand in marriage.THIS RESEARCH IS FOR SCHOLARS AND UNIVERSITIES.
