Odysseus recounts his adventures primarily to King Alcinous and the Phaeacians in the epic poem "The Odyssey." After being shipwrecked and helped by the Phaeacians, he shares the tale of his long journey home to Ithaca, detailing his encounters with mythical creatures and challenges he faced. This storytelling serves to highlight his cunning, resilience, and the trials he endured during his ten-year odyssey after the Trojan War.
