The Odyssey

Odyssey is a Greek word "Odysseus' s story". King of Ithaca Odysseus, husband of Penelope, father of Telemachus, after the war he entered, the son of Laertes could not return: Trojan horse. Trapped in the island, he was presumed to have died. In his absence, his wife's pursuer ruined his house with a luxurious holiday. This epic of Homer explains how Odysseus returned home with the help of the gods and regained power of the royal family. The morality of Odyssey is always harsh, there is no justice, or there are many, but punishment is always serious.

For the reason that "Odyssey" is a modern reader, because reading the "Odyssey" itself was preparing to read "Odyssey", I discussed the discussion about "Odyssey" in "Ilyad" I made it shorter and less detailed than the discussion. There are few questions to provide, and modern readers are more romantic than epics. The battle scenes are few, and the adventure of Odysseus is well known. It still has harmonics of the universe, but it is a different degree from Iliad. But overseas Odyssey may resonate with us due to domestic concerns and Odysseus adventure. He just wants to go home with his wife, son and loyal members of his family. Like Achilles, he knew that he was destined to crouch again after visiting the underground world, but we all know that human happiness is instantaneous.
