Summary: "Ulysses of Ithaca" by Karl Friedrich Becker is a retelling of the classic Greek epic, primarily designed for a young audience, written in the early 20th century. The narrative centers around the legendary hero Ulysses, focusing on his arduous journey home to Ithaca after the Trojan War and the unwavering devotion of his wife, Penelope, who awaits his return while grappling with the advances of numerous suitors. This story highlights themes of loyalty, temptation, and the struggles against divine intervention, making it an engaging introduction to mythology for young readers. At the start of the book, the aftermath of the Trojan War sets the scene, with Ulysses' faithful wife, Penelope, beset by suitors in his absence, and their son, Telemachus, feeling powerless against their insolence. Guided by the goddess Athene, Telemachus resolves to seek news of his father, setting off on a journey to consult with the wise leaders Nestor and Menelaus. Meanwhile, Ulysses, held captive on the island of Ogygia by the nymph Calypso, yearns for home, and the gods intervene to aid Ulysses’ return. As the story unfolds, it weaves together their separate struggles and hopes, promising adventure and emotional depth as their stories interconnect. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
