What were Zeus' events in the story odyssey?

Zeus was the Greek king of gods. The Odyssey includes everything in the Iliad and of Odysseus's journey home. So pretty much imagine all of one story and then all of the next story. Zeus didn't have any major roles with helping or hurting Odysseus in the Odyssey so I wouldn't say he really have any events. The only thing I can remember Zeus doing was making Calypso release Odysseus from her island so he could come home.


What happened before the beginning of The Odyssey?

The events of the Iliad all take place before the Odyssey. The war at Troy has ended, with the Greeks victorious; the Greeks sack the city. Technically, the start of the Odyssey starts many years after the war at Troy ends. By this time, most of Odysseus' journey is already over, although we do not yet know of these events. It is hard to give away more of the events without spoiling the narrative of the story.

Why was Poseidon Odysseus' enemy?

Odysseus blinded Poseidon's son Polyphemus.Odysseus did not consider Poseidon his enemy, as it would be foolhardy for a mortal to be an enemy to any god. However, Poseidon was a wrathful god who was punishing Odysseus for blinding his son, the cyclops Polyphemus, by piercing his only eye. As a result, Poseidon hampered Odysseus' efforts to get home, giving him trials.Eventually Odysseus builds a shrine to Poseidon to appease the god, although the actual event is takes place after the events in the Odyssey.Poseidon is not a traditional enemy, in the normal sense of 'enemy'.
