The poem is, in part, a sequel to the Iliad, and concerns the events that befall the Greek hero Odysseus in his long journey back to his native land Ithaca after the fall of Troy. — Excerpted from Odyssey on Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. This edition was translated by Samuel Butler and published in New York in 1898.
