Flashback
Three important events in Homer's "Odyssey" include Odysseus's encounter with the Cyclops Polyphemus, where he cleverly blinds the giant to escape captivity, showcasing his cunning and resourcefulness. Another key event is his meeting with the witch Circe, who initially transforms his men into animals but eventually helps him by providing guidance for his journey home. Lastly, Odysseus's return to Ithaca and the subsequent confrontation with the suitors highlights themes of loyalty and justice, culminating in his reclaiming of his home and family.
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.
The Odyssey is the story of the wanderings of Odysseus after the Trojan war, in his 10 year voyage home. The Odyssey then relates how he deals with his troubles at home after being away for so long.
