Odysseus is the cunning king of Ithaca, the mind behind the Wooden Horse that brings Troy to ruin. His ten-year voyage home pits his wits against the Cyclops, Circe, the Sirens, and the monsters of the sea, as the wrath of Poseidon strips him of ship and crew. Enduring and endlessly resourceful, he returns at last in disguise to reclaim his wife Penelope and his throne.
