The Odyssey
"And Odysseus looked around him, narrow-eyed, for any others who had lain hidden while death's black fury passed. In blood and dust he saw that crowd all fallen, many and many slain."
~Homer
On his voyage home, Odysseus endures one adventure after another.
Although he has a reputation for cleverness, this epic hero seems to have little control over his fate.
