This led to a series of challenges during his journey home to Ithaca, including encounters with mythical creatures, divine interventions, and treacherous circumstances. Additionally, his long absence caused turmoil in his household, as suitors vied for his wife Penelope's hand. Ultimately, his desire to return home and the consequences of his past actions intertwined to create his tumultuous journey.
