Actually, Odyssey is parted in three sections. The first is called 'Telemacheia' and the main character is Telemachus, prince of Ithaka, an island in the Ionian Sea, whose father had left 20 years before to fight at the Trojan War. It follows him as he seeks to find out if his father is dead or not with the support of Greek goddess Athena. The second is called 'Nostos' (returning) and it the main character here is Odysseus, Telemachus' father, who tries to get back to his homeland going through many obstacles. The third one is called 'Mnistirophonia' (the murder of the suiters) and it follows Odysseus who finally returns to Ithaka and, with the help of his son, kills the many suitors his wife, Penelope, has.
