The Odyssey by Homer

Odysseus has been travelling home from the Trojan war for many years. His wife Penelope is still waiting. She cannot imagine the myriad trials and terrors that block his path back to her. This epic tale is full of hideous monsters, beautiful witches and treacherous seas, but it is also the story of an ordinary man, and a journey home.
