| Summary | "La Odisea" by Homer is an epic poem likely composed in the 8th century BC. This seminal work of Western literature recounts the arduous journey of the hero Odysseus as he strives to return home to Ithaca after the Trojan War. Along his way, he encounters various mythical beings, treacherous waters, and numerous challenges that test his resolve and cunning. The narrative also intricately weaves in themes of loyalty, perseverance, and the power of the gods, particularly emphasizing the bond between Odysseus and his wife, Penelope. The beginning of "The Odyssey" sets the stage for Odysseus's long and tumultuous return to his homeland, introducing readers to his plight as he is trapped on the island of Ogygia by Calypso, a nymph who desires him as her husband. Meanwhile, back in Ithaca, his son Telemachus is grappling with the suitors who have invaded their home, seeking to marry Penelope. The gods convene in Olympus, discussing Odysseus’s fate, with Athena advocating for his return. Telemachus, inspired by divine intervention, resolves to seek news of his father, setting off on his own journey that will intertwine with Odysseus's fate.
