Odysseus sailed from Troy after the Trojan War, which is traditionally dated to around the 12th century BCE. According to Homer's "Odyssey," his journey home took ten years after the war, making it approximately 20 years since he left for Troy. However, these events are part of ancient mythology, so the exact number of years is not defined historically.
