Morning
Odysseus was in Troy when he was away from Ithaca for 20 years. He was away from Troy for 10 years, and never revealed where he was at during that time.
Circe hinders Odysseus by first turning his men into animals and delaying Odysseus' progress. Once Odysseus manages to resist her spell (with Hermes' help), Odysseus then take her to bed for her to turn his men back into humans. For a year after, Odysseus feasts and stays with Circe, which further delays his return to Ithaca. When Odysseus and his men feel it is time to leave, Circe helps Odysseus by advising him to visit the prophet Teiresias in the Underworld. There he learns of the dangers ahead of Scylla, Charybdis, the Sirens, and Helios' cattle.
Odysseus is disguises himself as an Soldier, with the help of Athena. They said at one time that it was an old begger but i looked into it and found out it was really a soldier it suprised me a little but if you think about it, it makes perfect since
The Odyssey is basically a continuation of the Iliad. It is post-Trojan-War. The Odyssey entails the state of Ithaca (the land where Odysseus rules) during the time after war, the chase of suitors after Penelope, Odysseus's long and treacherous journey home, and the events that occured after his arrival.ans hhahhhahahahhhahh this is the best story in world his=tThe Odyssey is about Odysseus
There was no united Greece at that time, there were city states. The expedition against Troy was lead by Agamemnon, King of Mycenae. There were also Menelaus, King of Sparta and Odysseus, King of Ithaca
Morning
Ithaca is the where the home of Odysseus is, the main character and hero of the Odyssey. It's where his journey is to, and instead of taking a short time, it takes 20 yrs. Ithaca was the home and kingdom of Odysseus, his wife Penelope and his son Telemacus.

After Odysseus returns, Penelope and Odysseus still face concerns about regaining control of Ithaca from the suitors who have invaded their home and refused to leave. They must also navigate the political and social dynamics within Ithaca to establish Odysseus' authority as the rightful king. Additionally, there may be lingering doubts and suspicions among the people about Odysseus' true identity and intentions.
It is ironic because Argos has been waiting to see him for so long, and just after seeing him, he dies, unable to spend time with his master. Homer is letting us know that things in Ithaca are falling apart without Odysseus' leadership.
He thought it was a waist of time and that it was stupid,
Aeolus gives Odysseus a bag of winds, letting only the gentle West wind free. This wind helps blow Odysseus and his crew towards their home in Ithaca while the other winds are trapped within the bag.In the end, this didn't help Odysseus and his men at all. Odysseus had fallen asleep. When in sight of their homeland of Ithaca, the other crew members opened the bag in curiosity and greed. The winds escaped and sent them far away out to sea, far away from Ithaca.When Odysseus returns to ask for help again the second time, Aeolus refuses to intervene, saying that Odysseus has been cursed by the gods.

Odysseus wants to return home to Penelope because he is deeply devoted to his wife and family. He has been separated from them for a long time due to his journey and trials after the Trojan War, and he yearns to be reunited with his loved ones. Additionally, Odysseus wants to reclaim his throne and kingdom in Ithaca, which has been overrun by suitors vying for Penelope's hand in his absence.

Odysseus was about 25 when he left Ithaca. So he returned at about 45.
