The Odyssey
A lost king braves monsters, witches, and the wrath of the sea to find his way home.
After the fall of Troy, Odysseus sets out for Ithaca, only to face the Cyclops, the witch Circe, the deadly Sirens, and the monsters of the strait, as the wrath of Poseidon strips him of ship and crew. Ten years he endures, holding fast to the thought of home. He returns at last in disguise to reclaim his faithful wife, his son, and his throne from the suitors who plague them.
