This 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.[2] 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.

Odyssée, tome 3 : Chants XVI à XXIV

Dans la petite île d'Ithaque, Pénélope et son fils Télémaque attendent Ulysse, leur époux et père. Voilà vingt ans qu'il est parti pour Troie et qu'ils sont sans nouvelles de lui. De l'autre côté des mers, Ulysse a pris le chemin du retour depuis longtemps déjà. Mais les tempêtes, les monstres, les géants, les dieux parfois, l'arrêtent ou le détournent de sa route. Premier grand voyageur, Ulysse découvre l'Inconnu où naissent les rêves et les peurs des hommes depuis la nuit des temps ; l'Odyssée nous dit cette aventure au terme de laquelle le héros retrouve enfin, aux côtés de Pénélope, "la joie du lit ancien".

L'odyssée d'Homère. T2 (Éd.1716)

Sing to me of the man, Muse, the man of twists and turns

driven time and again off course, once he had plundered

the hallowed heights of Troy.

So begins Robert Fagles' magnificent translation of the Odyssey, which Jasper Griffin in The New York Times Review of Books hails as "a distinguished achievement."

If the Iliad is the world's greatest war epic, then the Odyssey is literature's grandest evocation of everyman's journey though life. Odysseus' reliance on his wit and wiliness for survival in his encounters with divine and natural forces, during his ten-year voyage home to Ithaca after the Trojan War, is at once a timeless human story and an individual test of moral endurance. 

In the myths and legends that are retold here, Fagles has captured the energy and poetry of Homer's original in a bold, contemporary idiom, and given us an Odyssey to read aloud, to savor, and to treasure for its sheer lyrical mastery.

Facing mythical creatures, vengeful gods, and the unknown, Odysseus displays courage, wit, and resilience. This epic is not just about physical trials but also explores themes of loyalty, cunning, and the longing for home. The character of Odysseus has become an enduring symbol of the human spirit's determination to overcome adversity. Homer's storytelling weaves a tapestry of mythical landscapes and heroic deeds that continue to inspire literature and culture. "The Odyssey" is a timeless adventure that invites readers to embark on their own odyssey of self-discovery and perseverance. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Homer, the legendary ancient Greek poet, is the iconic figure behind some of the most epic tales in world literature. Although the details of his life remain shrouded in mystery, his impact on the literary world is immeasurable. Traditionally believed to have lived around the 8th century BCE, Homer is attributed with composing two of the greatest epic poems of all time: the "Iliad" and the "Odyssey." These epic works have been translated into countless languages and have inspired countless writers, artists, and thinkers throughout the centuries.

Apres les combats de l'Iliade, Ulysse prend enfin le chemin du retour a Ithaque, pour retrouver sa femme et son fils. Mais les obstacles qui le separent de son pays sont tres nombreux. Il lui faut, encore et toujours, faire preuve de courage et agir en heros...Une formidable epopee a la gloire d'un des plus celebres heros de la mythologie grecque.
