Nearly three thousand years after they were composed, the Iliad and the Odyssey remain two of the most celebrated and widely read stories ever told. The Odyssey takes the fall of the city of Troy as its starting point and crafts a new epic around the struggle of one of those Greek warriors, the hero Odysseus. It tells the story of his nostos or journey home, to northwest Greece during the ten- year period after the Greek victory over the Trojans. A tale of wandering, it takes place not on a field of battle but on fantastic islands and foreign lands. A staple of world literature and an epic adventure, focusing on the fortunes and misadventures of a single man. The Odyssey was regarded as 'the first novel of Europe' by none other than T.E Lawrence.
