About The Odyssey:
The Odyssey is an ancient Greek epic poem composed in dactylic hexameter. It consists of 24 books and is attributed to the poet Homer, although it likely preserves a much older storytelling tradition. The poem follows Ulysses (Odysseus), the king of Ithaca, as he attempts to return home after fighting in the Trojan War. The Odyssey holds major cultural significance as one of the foundational texts of Western literature. It influenced ancient education, storytelling, and values, and has preserved key aspects of Greek mythology, heroism, and social customs.
