That it deals with attempts to get back home is the way in which "The Wizard of Oz" mimics "The Odyssey."

Specifically, a cyclone carries a reluctant Dorothy Gale from her home in Kansas, over the rainbow and into the magical lands of Oz. Dorothy makes friends, but basically finds a lot of unpleasantness in this strange new world. She tries to get back home, almost makes it twice and then finally realizes her dream by getting back to Kansas with Glinda the Good Witch's and the magic slippers' help.

Likewise, Odysseus ends up a reluctant participant in the far-off war in fabled Troy. He fights well and successfully and receives honors, but basically dislikes being away from his home and his wife. He helps defeat the Trojans and heads back home. He almost makes it, but the gods keep thwarting him. He finally succeeds against all odds and undoubtedly thinks that there is no place like Ithaca.
