"L'Odyssée" by Homer is an ancient Greek epic composed around the 8th or 7th century BC. The poem follows Odysseus, heroic king of Ithaca, on his perilous ten-year journey home after the Trojan War. While he battles monsters and loses all his crewmates, his wife Penelope and son Telemachus struggle against suitors demanding her hand in marriage. This tale of homecoming, wandering, and testing remains one of Western literature's most enduring narratives, captivating audiences for nearly three millennia.
