The Odyssey is Homer's tale of the return voyage of Odysseus, king of Ithaca, from Troy. Beginning after the Iliad, Homer's telling of the war to restore Helen to Menelaus and the fall of Troy, it is the story of the ten year journey of Odysseus to his home and his fight to retain the throne which is rightfully his.
