Tell me Muse of the multifaceted man who wandered along many paths when he had sacked the sacred citadel of Troy. This is how Homer invoked the muses before singing the story of the hero Odysseus, a brave warrior who with his cunning helped the Greeks cross the Divine walls of Troy among all the heroes who survived the ravages of war. Odysseus was the only one who still had not returned to his home on Mount Olympus the gods gathered in an assembly Zeus atop his throne spoke about how men blame the gods for all their evils when in reality most of their misfortunes were the result of their own choices and follies and for that they paid the price for their sins.

At that moment Athena intervened and asked why Odysseus, the wise king of the island of Ithaca, despite being God-fearing, continued to suffer. Far from her beloved homeland, the goddess lamented the fate of the hero who had been stranded for seven years on the island of Ogijia. There the beautiful nymphomaniac Calypso, daughter of Atlas, kept him on her island because she wanted to have him as her husband. Zeus explained to her that he was not responsible. that Odysseus had not yet returned home but Poseidon, who felt hatred for the hero since he pierced the eye of the son of God, but at that time Poseidon was in Faraway Ethiopia where he was worshiped, therefore he did not participate in the assembly with the approval of the Council of the Gods Zeus decreed that Odysseus had the right to return home.

Zeus's favorite daughter was happy to state that she would go to Ithaca to find Telemachus. Odysseus' son Zeus ordered Hermes, the messenger god, to the island. from ogijia to order Calypso to friodiseo Hermes put on his winged sandals and set out to fulfill God's wishes. The island of ogijia was in the navel of the sea, it was a place where the vegetation grew exuberant and the breeze blew gently but the strong waves hit. At their coast, Calypso tried in every way to convince Odysseus to stay with her and even offered him immortality, but Odysseus knew that he was just a mere mortal and it was wrong to desire immortality, since his place was not among the gods but with his family.

Hermes entered. When the nymph was received with all reverence in the cave where Calypso lived, the divine messenger informed Calypso that by order of Zeus she must free Odysseus and secure the necessary means for his journey, the nymph became furious saying that the Olympian gods were envious. She was not happy with the happiness of the minor deities when they interacted with mortals, but Calypso knew that she could do nothing against the will of Zeus. Sometimes her heart broke when Odysseus cried internally with longing after delivering the message Hermes had left and Calypso, saddened, went to meet Odysseus.

The usual Odysseus was by the sea thinking about his beloved Penelope. Calypso told him to stop crying because he could finally return home. Odysseus, surprised and skeptical, looked back suspiciously, telling the nymph that she could stay if that was her will. The nymph laughed. Wiley Odysseus who although he wanted to return home more than anything else in his life, knew better than to anger a deity, she told him not to worry because she was telling the truth, his time on the island of Ogijia was coming to an end. end. Calypso pointed out the places to Odysseus. where he was able to find the necessary materials to build a raft in addition to explaining the design of the boat so that he could withstand the waves.

Odysseus did everything as he was told and finally the transportation was ready that would help him get to his house. The nymph gave Odysseus supplies for the trip, telling him that if she knew the dangers that still awaited him he would have chosen to stay, but the king of Ithaca did not waste that opportunity. Odysseus and Calypso said goodbye and with the help of favorable victories brought by Calypso. Odysseus set out towards his destination in his precarious boat. Odysseus ventured the

sea that separated the European peoples from the Africans. His objective was to return to the arms of his beloved wife Penelope and reunite with his little son Telemachus on the island of Ithaca, the kingdom.

The intrepid hero was in danger because years ago the king had left for the Trojan War, almost everyone believed that Odysseus had died in his undertaking. Odysseus's palace was full of suitors who wished to marry Queen Penelope and take over the vacant office. On the throne the queen was no longer young but she still had an incredible beauty. The young Telemachus who was just a baby when his father left was now a man that the suitors had chosen to stay in the palace squandering Odysseus's fortune while he waited for him. Penelope chose her new husband Athena assumed the form of an apparently noble man in disguise She entered the palace through the suitors who looked at the visitor with suspicion Telemachus received the visitor with hospitality just as Zeus had ordered the men The man said to leave. called mentis King of the taphius allied to Telemachus's father Telemachus told the visitor about the chaos in his father's kingdom and how the suitors were wasting his inheritance.

He finally asked if the visitor had any news of Odysseus. Minds said that he did not know Odysseus' exact location but that he was alive and was doing everything he could to return. At home, the nobleman said that Telemachus should try to find clues about his father's whereabouts because he was now a man and must take control of his destiny. Telemachus' heart felt

great

courage. Minds, he assumed the form of a bird and left witnessing In that scene, the young man was sure that the gods were on his side with the firmness and courage that the goddess transmitted to him.

Telemachus announced to the suitors that the next day he would organize an assembly to decide the fate of his father's kingdom. Penelope realized. that something had changed in his son. He was no longer a child and this filled her with pride. The next day all the men of Ithaca gathered in the assembly called by Telemachus. The young man spoke about the chaos in his father's Kingdom and scolded the suitors for depleting the Hero's Fortune. missing Antonis one of the The most insolent suitors interrupted Telemachus saying that the culprit of the whole situation was Penelope, who had deceived the suitors.

Penelope had promised the suitors that as soon as she finished the Shroud she was sewing for Laertes' father Odysseus would choose her new husband during the day she wove the Shroud for her father-in-law but as night fell she would undo the work during the morning. , thus for almost four years he deceived the suitors until his deception was discovered. The suitors claimed that they would hold consecutive Banquets and the Palace of Odysseus until Penelope chose her new husband even if it depleted Telemachus' entire inheritance. Telemachus threatened his rivals by warning that because of this insult to hospitality, Zeus would ruin the suitors.

Two Eagles of Suddenly they began to fly in the skies, an omen of something important. The fortune teller Hallitharsis interrupted The Omen and told the suitors that the King would return and that the fate of his opponents would be terrible. Erymachus, another renowned suitor ignored the Elder's words and said that as soon as the assembly was over they would return to feast on Odysseus's possessions because he was dead. Telemachus revealed the true reason for the assembly: he needed help getting a ship, men, and supplies for a trip to the island of Pylos and Sparta where he would try to find clues to his father's whereabouts among the brothers in arms who fought alongside him at Troy. , if he didn't succeed, he would do it. that his mother chose a suitor, no one supported Telemachus's idea, therefore Mentor, the man Odysseus commissioned to take care of his family, rebuked the people of Ithaca for showing such ingratitude toward the king's family, who was always kind and generous to them. assembly dissolved in Telemachus did not achieve its objective Telemachus by the sea asked the goddess Athena for help in a prayer she quickly responded Athena assumed the form of a mentor and assured the young man that she would give him the necessary means for his journey because she perceived that the The prince He had the courage of his father, obeying the instructions of his mentors.

Telemachus asked the old servant Uriclia for help to gather provisions for the trip while the goddess induced a deep sleep in the suitors so that Telemachus could escape in hiding. Telemachus boarded the ship that the disguised goddess had Whenever, like his father, he bravely set out, leaving Ithaca behind to face the dangers and obstacles that stood between him and his goal after years trapped on the island of the nymph Calypso. Odysseus, guided by the stars, took his ship back to Ithaca, but Odysseus did not sail away with impunity. Through the kingdom of Poseidon, who still had a lot of resentment for the hero for not having been in the Divine assembly that ordered the Return of the King of Ithaca, the God would pour out his wrath on him.

The sea began to stir and Odysseus had to use all his skills. As a sailor to fight against the waves, the terrible test imposed by Poseidon on Odysseus made him envy the heroes who died at the gates of Troy. If he had fallen there, he would be exalted among men and would not have the inglorious death that was before him. A large wave overturned his boat, throwing Odysseus into the water. In the waters he struggled to get out, but everything indicated that this would be his end. He was about to give up when a female figure appeared and his will to live was renewed.

Odysseus rose to the surface. and he managed to fill his lungs with air while spitting out the salt water that he had swallowed. He managed to cling to the remains of his boat which had been destroyed by the waves and on the remains he saw a beautiful woman who could only be a goddess, the goddess of the sea. Lou kothea was a deity who had been mortal, therefore he was very empathetic with the suffering of men. He asked Odysseus to take off his tunic, which made it more difficult to swim. While he offered his handkerchief to Odysseus, Leo kothea assured him that that handkerchief Odysseus tied the scarf to his chest as the goddess had ordered and swam to the shore of the Fikes.

Poseidon was glad that the man had already suffered too many torments in recent years, it was time. If the will of the Council of the Gods was allowed to be carried out, Poseidon would no longer pursue the king of Ithaca. Odysseus used all his strength to reach the beach and almost died when he was thrown by the Sea against the rocks, but in the end he was protected in hospitable land his The first action on dry land was to return the handkerchief of the goddess Leucothia to the sea, who saved him from certain death. The hero slept on a bed of leaves in the forest to regain energy before seeking help in the unknown land the next morning.

He woke up to the sound of female voices that seemed to be having fun among the trees. Odysseus saw a group of girls playing with a ball, among them a young girl stood out from the rest. The hero realized that she was a babysitter for the other girls and that this Noble was probably I would tell her what place that was but her nakedness was an obstacle. Odysseus approached the young women using a branch with leaves to hide their private parts. The girls were surprised by that scene except for the noble and beautiful young woman. Odysseus knelt before the girl and He said, I don't know if you are a goddess or mortal, if you are a goddess, you seem like Artemis to me, who stands out for her poisoned Beauty among the most beautiful nymphs of her retinue.

If you are mortal, Thrice blessed are your parents for giving birth to a daughter who blossoms so splendidly, flattering the young woman. He said his name was Nausicaa and decided to help the man by telling his servants to give Odysseus clean clothes and dressed in a beautiful tunic. Odysseus seemed like a different man than the Castaway. The young people had found Nausicaa. She was captivated by that elegant and seductive man. She wanted to introduce him to her. Her father, the Alcinian king of fights, thinking about the possibility of making him her future husband, the princess showed Odysseus the way to the city of Las Falsas, but she would not accompany him because it would not be correct for her to appear with a man in the city.

At the entrance gates of the city, Odysseus prayed that the gods would protect him and not allow other barbarian people to take him away from his objective. With the protection of Athena, the hero was able to reach the palace without being harassed for being a foreigner when he arrived at the palace. He knelt before the Queen asking for help to return home touched. The Queen asked the King to receive the visitor with all the Hospitality as Zeus demanded. The King decided. Offering all his hospitality, Odysseus received a bed and the next day great festivities were organized in honor to the gods.

Athletic games were held to demonstrate how skilled and strong the Fikes were. Odysseus even showed off his strength by throwing a discus during the banquet held in honor. the guest the gone sang the exploits of the Greeks in the Trojan War Odysseus listened to the poet with admiration because he was surely inspired by the muses he sang the exploits of the heroes with such detail that it seemed he had been there Odysseus cried remembering the war that had happened to him kept away from his beloved land and family for so long. King Asanus, who until then had not known that his guest was one of the heroes of the deeds sung of by the gone, asked why these stories moved him so much.

Odysseus said he would do it. He explained everything to the king but he didn't even know where to start the hero breathedDeep and finally revealed his identity, he said that it was Odysseus, the king of Ithaca who for 10 years had fought alongside the bravest men before the Great Walls of Troy. Everyone was amazed at the revelation. Odysseus said that he would tell his hosts about the adventures and difficulties that caused him a lot of pain it all began after he and his men left Troy behind this is how Odysseus's adventures began after 10 years of war thanks to the ingenuity of Odysseus the city of Troy had finally been captured and sacked the king of Ithaca and his men after years of fighting before the walls of Troy were ready to return home Odysseus and his squadron of 12 ships sailed alongside the squadron of the great hero Agamemnon until they were separated by a great storm the storm diverted the men from Odysseus took them near the country of the Sycones.

These people allied themselves with the Trojans during the war, being responsible for the death of many Greeks. His crew demanded revenge against their enemies in a surprise attack. Odysseus and his men sacked the city of Ismaris, killing the warriors. who resisted and enslaved those who did not flee, but the invasion of the island by the men of Ithaca did not go unpunished. The men and women who fled the city ran to neighboring towns and cities in search of reinforcements while Odysseus tried in vain to get his forces. The men returned to the ships but were determined to celebrate the newly won loot.

It was then that one of the lookouts warned that an army was approaching. Odysseus's battalion had more than a hundred experienced warriors with several years of fighting in Troy. They were not afraid to fight. The battle began and Odysseus felt foolish for fighting again in an unnecessary conflict even after achieving maximum glory in Troy. of Ithaca fought like lions against more numerous enemies but the innumerable numbers of Zaconian warriors made victory impossible. Odysseus ordered a retreat and his men fled to their ships. The ships quickly fled from the lands of the sea cones and each ship lost six brave warriors in vain but the hero's adversities had barely begun a strong wind tore the sails of the ships leaving his ships at the mercy of the sea currents his men worked mending the sails wanting to find the way home as quickly as possible with the sales already sewn they found an unknown island heading towards it to supply the ships with drinking water on land Odysseus ordered three of his men to scour the island to discover who the residents were.

The ships were already supplied and the explorers had not yet returned. Odysseus then led a search. The hero did not know that his men had been received by the natives and had the right to taste an exotic food. They had been offered lotus flowers and fruits. When Odysseus met them, they were eating the lotus fruit with great satisfaction. A compatriot greeted him as if he were a foreigner and gave him the exotic fruit Odysseus He looked askance at the fruit that looked quite appetizing, the man who had lived with his king for the last 10 years seemed not to recognize him and Odysseus realized that this could only be caused by some toxin in The men returned with him to the ships, but they wanted to stay there eating lotus for the rest of their lives.

Odysseus ordered his men to forcibly drag their colleagues back to the ships while they begged to stay, these men were tied up and put back. The ships the Squadron departed, leaving behind the island of the Iota faji while its Lotus-eating inhabitants greeted before eating the fruit that would make them forget about those visitors while one of Odysseus's men cried because he only wanted to eat the lotus-eating fruit to forget everything. . the horrors he had witnessed in war, but Odysseus's men would encounter even more terrible sights during their return home.

Inside the cave there was an enclosure with some m4i sheep full of goat's milk and bowls with fresh cheese. made with it Odysseus tried a little of the cheese and thought about stealing it but decided to wait for the caveman's return and negotiate with him but the hero would regret this decision. The enormous cyclops appeared in front of the cave bringing with him part of his flock that he had. They took out grazing Odysseus and his men hid fearing for their lives, but the sailors' hiding places were revealed when the Cyclops lit a fire in the center of the cave.

Odysseus came out of his hiding place and introduced himself to the monster, saying who he was. When he asked for hospitality, the Cyclops said that his name was Polyphemus, the most glorious of his race. He stated that he did not have hospitality towards inferior beings because he did not recognize the laws of men. Polyphemus grabbed two of Odysseus's men by the legs. and crashed them to the ground killing them immediately as if this were not enough the Beast still devoured them

ly the powerful Cyclops moved a huge Stone and blocked the exit of the cave after that unpleasant meal the Cyclops decided to put Odysseus' men to sleep He wanted kill him while he slept, but the cunning leader stopped them because it would be impossible to move the heavy stone that blocked the exit of the cave.

The next day, the giant took his sheep to graze, leaving the men locked in the cave. Odysseus along with his men. They planned a way to avenge the death of their companions. They found a large log of wood and sharpened one end. At the end of the day, the Cyclops returned and after re-entering, he closed the exit of the cave. Odysseus poured the wine from the wineskin into a jug. of all his men to offer it to the one-eyed Giant. Polyphemus drank with satisfaction the strong wine offered by Odysseus and he liked the gesture. He told the hero that as a reward he would be the last to be devoured and asked Odysseus his name.

He responded that his name was nobody and that everyone knew him. The drunk Polyphemus felt an irresistible urge to sleep. Odysseus and his men took the improvised weapon and prepared their Revenge. They ran with the sharpened stake towards the monster's only eye. The Cyclops woke up and screamed. In pain after hearing the terrible screams of his brother, two other Cyclops appeared at the entrance of the cave. They asked who had done it and Polyphemus shouted, "No one, no one, no one has pierced my eye since there was no one to punish. They returned to their homes the next day." next the blind The Cyclops let the animals out to graze, but he did not expect that Odysseus would use another trick by clinging to the bellies of the strong rams.

He asked the god of the seas to prevent Odysseus from returning home if the gods so desired, he should wander the seas for years and arrive home without the ship's treasure. The arrogance of his companions Odysseus that led him to mock the son of Poseidon would cost him dearly because he now had the god of the seas as an enemy days after leaving the island of the Cyclopes. Odysseus' fleet found a floating island that was not united To land there was only a splendid bronze palace on the top of a hill. The king of Ithaca and his men landed on the island and headed towards the inhabitants of the island.

Odysseus met Aeolus, the guardian of the winds, who cordially received the visitors during the banquet in honor of his illustrious visitors Aeolus and his sons listened happily to Odysseus who told them about the great deeds of the heroes during the Trojan War to thank them for the entertainment Aeolus opened a large wineskin and poured within him all the winds except Zephyrus that would blow silently to guide Odysseus and his men home the favorable wind carried the hero ships close to home after citing the island of Ithaca Odysseus could see the smoke from the chimneys relaxing for a At that moment, the god of sleep entered the kingdom of Hypnos and they began to sleep.

They returned to the island of Aiolus for help, but were expelled by the ruler. He would not ignore the will of the gods, who certainly did not wish Odysseus to do so. returning home Odysseus and his men fought against the winds that seemed to carry them further and further from home after a long time at sea they found a new island on it it was a protected area where almost all of Odysseus' ships could find shelter only the hero The ship was moored outside the bay because there was no more space. Odysseus ordered two men to survey the island and find out who its inhabitants were.

Ithaca by Troy had been destroyed in its attempt to return home after the war, only Odysseus' captain ship escaped the tragedy after a long time of aimlessly sailing through the sea, they found a beautiful island but this did not rejoice in their hearts. of the men of Ithaca.

Because they were traumatized by their last experiences on the island of the Cyclops and the Lace Dragonians, the men camped on the beach but the low morale of the soldiers left them inert and without the courage to explore the island, but Odysseus grabbed a bow and left. After a prey for dinner by the grace of the gods Odysseus found a small deer using his exceptional aim he shot down the animal with a perfect shot while returning to the beach with the carcass of the animal on his back he saw a cloud of smoke On the other side of the island, the men of Ithaca were very happy to see the king return with precious food, but these smiles quickly faded when Odysseus ordered the formation of an expedition to discover who lived on that island.

The hero did not want to be responsible. again by sending more men to death therefore the chosen ones would be chosen by the gods through a lottery the group of men led by Yuri Locus went out to find who supervised the island they found a beautiful palace but the entrance was full of wolves and lions which terrified the men but to the Explorer's amazement these creatures seemed as docile as pets suddenly one of the men heard the singing of a woman coming from inside the palace a beautiful woman was singing while she was knitting it was Cersei daughter of Helios and Percy she had a charming beauty.

Cersei stood and welcomed her visitors.inviting them in, she asked the guests to share a magnificent banquet with her. Odysseus's men enjoyed the splendid delicacies offered by the lady while Cersei filled their glasses with a magic potion. Suddenly, one of the men tasted it as he spoke and his throat.

Cersei had turned all the visitors into pigs and with her cane she guided them through the pigsty, but As a precaution, your Locus had not entered the palace suspecting that there was a trap, he was an eyewitness of that grotesque scene.

Yuri Locus desperately told everything he witnessed to Odysseus, who quickly set out to rescue them. Team Locus begged Odysseus not to go with Cersei. He recommended that they leave that island immediately before they all turned into pigs or worse, but Odysseus felt it was his duty to try to save the few men he had left even if it cost him his life and he set out on his way across the island. . forest he met a young man this was Hermes the messenger of the gods Hermes told him exactly what had happened to Odysseus' men he said that the same thing would happen to him if he did not take precautions during his journey the God gave the king an antidote against Odysseus he had to accept and gain his friendship to free his compatriots, but first he would have to swear that he would do so.

Not trying to harm him further, Odysseus drank the antidote and headed towards the palace. Cersei was excited by the arrival of yet another visitor, she graciously welcomed him and she led Odysseus to a beautiful Throne where she could rest and where she was served a refreshing drink. Odysseus took the potion offered to him by her Host who looked at him excitedly as she drank all the liquid from the golden cup and then Cersei touched it. the hero with his staff and ordered him to go to the pigsty because the pigs were there but Odysseus was immune to his charms and pushed the staff threatening Cersei with his sword with a seductive look.

The lady asked Odysseus to forgive her. life. and she invited him to share her bed Odysseus said that he would accept her invitation as long as she swore not to attempt her life or do any harm. Cersei took the oath and the king of Ithaca and the Enchantress were united in the Divine bed the next day. Odysseus was very well treated by the nymphs who cleaned and dressed him Cersei was sitting at the table waiting for the king a great banquet had been served but he said it would not be worthy to eat while his men lived in a dump like pigs Cersei went to the pigsty and used his powers to restore the pigs to their previous form Odysseus was amazed by the scene and noticed that his companions seemed to be younger and healthier than before as the men embraced each other and celebrated their return to their previous form.

Cersei was magnanimous toward the man who entered her domain. She invited them to stay until they felt ready to advance towards Odysseus and her men remained on Cersei's island for a year enjoying the hospitality of their Divine Host, but one day the Warriors of Ithaca pressured the hero to return home. . Odysseus confessed his desire to Cersei, she replied that she did not want to keep him there against his will, but before he could return home, Odysseus must visit one of the most terrifying places in the world, the hero must go to the kingdom of Hades in search of for answers on Cersei's island Odysseus and his men spent their last night before setting sail for a nightmare destination.

Odysseus sacrificed two lambs and their blood was poured into a well. Odysseus and his men proceeded to be surrounded by spirits who wanted to drink. the blood inside the lair but Odysseus was advised to drive them away until terrarium appeared to everyone's surprise among the spirits was elpinor the friend they had just lost had not yet been buried and that is why he asked Odysseus to promise him that Rocío would grant him. burial honors, the king of Ithaca assured him that he would do so, then the spirit of Odysseus's mother appeared.

He was murdered by his wife after returning home from the war. There he also met the great hero Achilles, who seemed to have become bitter. Odysseus told him how his achievements in the Trojan War were told and commemorated among men, but Achilles said that he would much rather be a poor peasant and be allowed to see the world. daylight that being the lord of the world of the dead he also wondered how his son Neoptolemus was doing Odysseus told him that he fought in the Trojan War and had proven to be a true disciple of Ares achieving great feats several other of his brothers would appear of battle such as patroclus Ajax and others but Odysseus' mission in that land was finished so he and his men returned to the ship heading to the island of Cersei to fulfill the promise made to Elpinor once there they placed the body of his friend on a pyre so that his spirit could finally rest in peace during the farewell banquet given by the Enchantress, she would whisper in Odysseus' ear the horrendous dangers he was about to face, the hero and his men would soon face the most dangerous things that Poseidon's kingdom had to offer next.

ly. He revealed them to his comrades because he feared that his hearts would be overcome with dread. The first challenge was the siren hybrid creatures, but with incredible power of seduction, his song was irresistible to all who heard it and lured his victims to their doom. Odysseus ordered his men. plugging their ears with wax so they couldn't hear anything at all.

The favorable winds carried them near the island of the Sirens, but Odysseus' curiosity took over and he wanted the opportunity to hear a song so irresistible that he ordered his men to tie him rigidly to the ship's mast and even if he gave the order, his men would not release him until they were far from the island, dominating the Rocks, the beautiful sirens sang and waved trying to lure the men to certain death, scattered around them were countless bones of those who had been bewitched Odysseus shouted to them. his men to free him and take the ship towards the Rocks but they did not listen to his orders the sirens flattered with their songs the hero who had achieved great things in the Trojan War and promised to write songs that would make his exploits immortal Odysseus begged his men to free him but only tied the hero even more tightly to the mast.

It was only when they were a safe distance from the island that Odysseus' companions freed him from the king of Ithaca. It took them a while to mentally recover from that desperate experience, but now they faced a deadly challenge, as they would encounter two of the greatest dangers of the scilla and sharadis ocean: a gigantic whirlpool attempting to pour all the water from the seas underwater. . The creature was trying to sink any ship that came within its reach to avoid the monster. Odysseus ordered his men to direct the ship as close to a cliff as possible, however, nestled in a huge cavern embedded in the cliff was Sulla, a gigantic and horrible Beast that had several heads and tentacles, just seeing it made the men desperate, the creature tore the men from the deck of the ship and tore them to pieces.

The spirit of survival was what kept the man rowing vigorously, avoiding being dragged by sharivdis and away from Sulla Odysseus and his men. They avoided that deadly trap, but now they were only a handful of warriors compared to the army that had traveled to Troy 20 years ago, before them was the island of Thronesia, which would be Odysseus's last stop before he could finally come home thank you. You Odysseus and his men were sailing near the island of Thronesia from where they heard the lowing of the cows and oxen that lived there. Odysseus's comrades longed for supplies and rest, but Cersei told the king of Ithaca that this island could bring complete ruin to his men.

He tried to convince them to stay away from the island, however, his men were very dissatisfied even to the point. to mutiny. Odysseus agreed to take them there as long as they promised not to touch the cattle on that island that was the property of the god. Helios agreed and headed to the beach shortly after. Sheltering the ship in a cave to protect it from the winds, a storm hit the island. Odysseus informed his men that they should consume only the supplies offered by the sorceress Cersei while they left Helios' animals on Peace, inclement weather and relentless winds kept Odysseus stranded on that island for months.

Supplies were about to run out. Odysseus said it was best for his men to try to fish and gather all the berries and roots they could find, but stay out of the sun. God's oxen, while on one of his hunts the hero reached the top of the hill, feeling close to the gods, he asked them to help him, he felt as if the gods had sent him a peaceful sleep and right there he took a nap and woke up smelling the distinctive aroma of roast meat nearby, his men were roasting beef while they had sacrificed the best animals to appease the wrath of God.

They preferred to take the risk of divine vengeance than the terrible experience of dying of hunger. Odysseus was desperate to witness the scenario that he had feared so much that the Revenge of the Gods would soon come in heaven. The son accused men of desecrating his sacred cattle and said that he would go to Hades to illuminate the dead while the Earth and the Heavens were already dead. They would not see its light. Zeus begged Helios not to stop illuminating the world since it would end the lives of those responsible for such a crime. The headwind ceased and Odysseus and his men left, leaving behind the island of Thronesia but the Lightning in the sky.

They pointed out Zeus's bad mood. A powerful lightning bolt destroyed the ship. The mast collapsed on the helmsman. More lightning bolts fell on the ship, completely destroying it. Many of Odysseus's men died from electrocution. While others drowned in the sea, Waters' son Laertes survived. Clinging to the planks of the remains of the ship, he would be the only one who, if his body was swallowed by the sea, would be left adrift for a time until he realized that the currents were carrying him towards a terrible fate. Odysseus was heading again towards the Scylla and Chardis gorge, the remains were being dragged by the Chardis whirlpool and his end seemed inevitable. but he managed to reach the branches of a fig tree that was sprouting from the walls that hung from it, the hero waited until charades swallowed all the water as he always did, the water flowed backwards and Odysseus jumped over the debris thrown by the charges using the strength of his arms and legs as he tried to distance himself from that place for days Odysseus was a drifting sea until he was taken to the shores of the island Ogijia where the nymph Calypso lived after describing his stay on Calypso's island and how he had Arriving in the country of Fashions, Odysseus concluded his adventures at the court of King Alcinas, overwhelmed by emotion.

Odysseus felt in his heart the pain of remembering that almost all of his companions who perished on their journey were desperately crying out for his name before arriving. They took their last breath while Odysseus tried to return home to his son. Telemachus had left for the Greek region of the Peloponnese. In search of his father, he had the goddess Athena at his side, disguised as amentor his first stop was Pylos the kingdom of the wise men Old Nestor, a famous hero of the Trojan War, the old king and his two sons were making sacrifices to the god Poseidon.

They invited the young man and his companion to join them in the ceremony. Telemoncus introduced himself as the son of Odysseus and Nestor was happy to meet the young man that his father had mentioned so much, however, Nestor had no news of Odysseus, he only knew that the King of Ithaca was one of the four Great Heroes. who had not returned home safely shortly after the war ended, the powerful king Agamemnon had been murdered by his wife and his lover Ajax the great had died in the seas as a result of God's wrath and Menelaus had been lost. for eight years before returning home, but knowing nothing about Odysseus's whereabouts, the wise Nestor recognized that Telemachus was quite a valuable person.

By having the goddess Athena at his side, he recommended that the prince of Ithaca meet with Menelaus since he would know some news about his father. The king of Pylos asked his son to accompany Telemachus to Sparta where Menelaus reigned and his queen arrived during the celebration of the betrothal of Princess Hermione, daughter of Menelaus and Helen, two Niptolemus, son of Achilles, the two young nobles were received with hospitality by the king, although the latter did not know their identity. He was only fulfilling the designs of Zeus, but Menelaus realized in the face of the young man in front of the features of his former battle companion the queen once known as Helen of Troy also recognized the presence of Odysseus and the features of her son Telemachus introduced himself and told him the reason for his visit Menelaus asked him to sit down because he had a story to tell Menelaus said that his departure from Troy was difficult since the Greeks had angered the gods just as Odysseus was lost at sea for a long time but the ships reached the Egyptian coast in this piece of land it was Plagued with depression until he was seen by a seed deity who took pity on him, the Edothean nariad told Menelaus what he had to do to return home, he must gather some men and ambush Proteus, a sea deity with prophetic powers. , they were to capture him and release him only when he promised to answer their questions.

Following Idothea's orders, Menelaus found Proteus counting his seals before taking a nap. Menelaus and his men jumped on the god and grabbed him. Proteus had the power of metamorphosis and used it to assume the most diverse forms. Finally, due to the persistence of Menelaus, who did not let him go, he surrendered to the will of the Spartan king and promised to tell everything he knew. Proteus told Menelaus that if he wanted to return home he must make a sacrifice to the gods to appease his Anger, Menelaus asked about the fate of the other Greek nobles who had returned from Troy.

He told him about the tragedy of Ajax, but the news of the death of his brother Agamemnon broke his heart and the Spartan began to cry. The god also revealed the fate to him. from his great friend the king of Ithaca, Menelaus finally told Telemachus the information that Odysseus had sailed for a long time aimlessly through the Mediterranean Sea. He had been stranded for several years on the island of the nymph Calypso, but this would not be a situation. permanent because he was destined to return home. Telemachus spoke of suitors who were squandering his father's property and wished to conquer his throne.

Menelaus advised the prince. to return home because his father would need the help of Telemachus together they would teach the suitors a lesson having left the land of the Facians behind King Alcinius made provisions for one of his ships to take the hero back to Ithaca he would never forget the hospitality of his host Odysseus was trapped in a deep sleep and slept throughout the voyage when he reached the beaches of Dexas in Ithaca, the sailors did not have the courage to wake him up, so they disembarked him with the gifts offered by the King of Fashion when Poseidon he heard that his enemy had finally reached his homeland.

He became enraged and the sailors who were carrying the hero would pay a high price for dishonoring the god of the seas just as they concluded their return journey, the ship of the Facians was pulverized by Poseidon who gigantically destroyed it with his own hands by separating his hands. There was only a large rock in front of the Port of Fashion they had become a rock and from that day the seasons never helped again Shipwrecked in Sparta Athena warned Telemachus that it was time to return home the suitors planned to catch him on his return by For this reason he had to sail at night and not go to the port but to the house of Yumeo, the man who raised him in the absence of Odysseus, finally Odysseus woke up and had no idea where he was, he feared that he was again in an unknown foreign land and full of dangers it was then that a young shepherd appeared and Odysseus asked what place that was and the young man said Ithaca, the cunning Odysseus to disguise his identity invented a story full of details that gave him a new biography meanwhile The young man listened to his story with A smile on his face at this point the young man took the form of the goddess Athena who said that his story was of unmatched cunning and that it would almost deceive even the goddess of wisdom.

The goddess told him that he would have to find the loyal Eumaeus and catch up with the situation in his kingdom, but first he needed a disguise. The goddess arranged for Odysseus to take the form of an old beggar and headed towards Umeo's house. The pigs listened to Yumaeus comply with the duty of hospitality and receive the beggar with warmth. The pigkeeper told him how the suitors wasted Odysseus's fortune and intended to kill Telemachus and marry Queen Penelope. It was then that footsteps were heard approaching the house. house of Emmaus Odysseus understood that the dog did not raise any alarm and then it must have been someone he knew.

Young Telemachus entered the door and was greeted happily by the pigman who said the prince's name. Odysseus's jaw dropped and his eyes widened at the sight of his adult son. It had been more than 20 years since he had last seen him, Telemachus told the pig man that he must go to the Palace to secretly tell him about his return, as soon as the Pig Man left, the figure of the goddess Athena appeared behind Telemachus, but only Odysseus and the dogs could see her. She told Odysseus that the time had come to reveal himself. Athena restored Odysseus to his original form, much to the astonishment of Telemachus, who believed that the old man could only be a god.

He told them no. It was a God but his father who had been missing for a long time Father and Son embraced each other and many tears came to the eyes of Telemachus and Odysseus. Odysseus wondered who and how many were the suitors who were trying to claim their rights. The young man said that there were dozens and Victory over them would be almost impossible Odysseus ordered his son not to tell anyone about his father's return, not even Maya sent his mother, he said that he should not fear anything because Zeus and his beloved daughter were on his side. side and would take them to Glory again in form. of an old beggar Odysseus went to the Palace to beg among the suitors and find out who their enemies are and what their enemies were planning Odysseus went to the Royal Palace of Ithaca next to the Yumaeus filth but before reaching the palace he had an unexpected reunion lying on the ground was the dog of old Argos Odysseus to whom he had dedicated a lot of love and time to turn it into an excellent dog for fighting and hunting when the animal was still a puppy.

When he saw the beggar approaching, the dog raised its ears and wagged its tail even 20 years ago More Later, the animal immediately recognized its master and would have run towards him if it had not been too weak. Odysseus asked Mayus why the animal was treated so badly. The heard pigs responded that the dog was unbeatable in herding and hunting, but like the kingdom of Ithaca. It had lived through years of abandonment and that is why there were no signs of its glorious times. Odysseus knelt and shed a tear as he was reunited with his old and loyal friend after 20 years of waiting for Odysseus' return.
