Troy of The Iliad could still be standing there in all glory today if it were not for Odysseus who conceived the Trojan Horse and laid the foundation of Greek victory. He is now returning to Ithaca, his homeland, where his wife Penelo- pe and his son Telemachus await him. The journey home, although fascinating, is long and full of monsters and battles. Odysseus will need more than brains and brawn he used to help win the Trojan War to finally reach home.
