His household is in disarray: a horde of over 100 disorderly and arrogant suitors are vying to claim Odysseus' wife Penelope, and his young son Telemachus is powerless to stop them. Meanwhile, Odysseus is driven beyond the limits of the known world, encountering countless divine and earthly challenges. But Odysseus is \"of many wiles\" and his cunning and bravery eventually lead him home, to reclaim both his family and his kingdom. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHomer's \u003cem\u003eOdyssey\u003c\/em\u003e rivals the \u003cem\u003eIliad\u003c\/em\u003e as the greatest poem of Western culture and is perhaps the most influential text of classical literature.
