After ten years at war and ten years wandering the world, Odysseus has finally returned home. But, he cannot reveal his identity to his faithful wife, Penelope. A gang of would-be lovers are pestering her to marry one of them, and are prepared to kill anyone who claims to be her husband. Now, Odysseus must use his ingenuity to get rid of them.
After war and strife, a mighty king's troubles are only just beginning. After ten years at war and ten years wandering the world, Odysseus has finally returned home. But he cannot reveal his identity to his faithful wife Penelope. A gang of would-be lovers are pestering her to marry one of them and are prepared to kill anyone who claims to be her husband. Now Odysseus must use all his cunning and ingenuity to get rid of them, if he is to reclaim his wife and his rightful place as King of Ithaca once and for all.

The Greeks attributed both the Iliad and the Odyssey to a single poet whom they named Homer. Nothing is known of his life, though the main ancient tradition made him a native of the island of Chios in east Aegean. His date too is uncertain: most modern scholars place the composition of the Iliad in the second half of the eighth century BC.
