This story tells of the route the famous Odysseus took on his way back from the newly conquered city of Troy. He sailed away from the “Greek” land with a crew filling around ten other ships, and to headed for his homeland and kingdom of Ithaca, which he reigned.
But the journey was much more than an enjoyable sea trip back to his wife, Penelope, and only son, Telemachus. On the way Odysseus and his unfortunate crew bumped into cyclopes, an evil sorceress called Circe, and many a bad-tempered nymph, sea-goddess, and siren. But soon the poor king of Ithaca became the last one standing; the rest of his crew had either been eaten by cyclopes or sea monsters, and he was trapped on an island with a love-seeking, lonely, yet overall innocent nymph named Calypso. For seven years he remained, longing for his wife and child, and for seven years he remained perched on the edge of the cliff, looking out to sea for a ship that might come sailing by—but in vain. Will Odysseus ever manage to fight his way home?
