Ten years have passed since the fall of Troy. The surviving Greek
warriors who destroyed that city have returned home. All except
Odysseus, whose wife, Penelope, and son, Telemachus, await him. Claiming
that Odysseus is dead, a host of suitors have taken up residence in his
home, eating up his wealth and trying to persuade Penelope to marry one
of them. Penelope steadfastly refuses. Odysseus, in fact, is alive.
Having spent seven years as a captive of the nymph Calypso, the gods
finally take pity on him and persuade her to set him free. When he
resumes his journey home, the sea god Poseidon sends a great storm to
destroy his raft. Exhausted and near death, Odysseus and his men wash up
on an island shore. They are delayed by Polyphemus the Cyclops, the
Lotus-eaters, the Sirens, the sorceress Circe, and other strange
creatures. Set in a time that was ancient even when Homer composed it
almost 2,800 years ago, The Odyssey reveals a universal order
where gods intercede directly and sometimes capriciously in the
destinies of men, where heroes are as deceitful as they are brave, and
where a sea voyage becomes a test of human ingenuity and courage in the
face of helplessness.
