Troy has fallen, but Odysseus and his surviving crews find that the voyage to Ithaca is more dangerous than the war they have left behind. Storms and disastrous landings carry them to the Cyclops, Circe and the realm of the dead, while every encounter tests Odysseus's ability to preserve discipline among men who are hungry, frightened and increasingly doubtful that home can still be reached.
Years of wandering strip Odysseus of ships, companions and the public identity of a victorious king. On Ithaca, Penelope delays the suitors consuming his estate and Telemachus grows to adulthood without him. The final stages of the journey require Odysseus to return in disguise, judge who has remained loyal and decide whether the recovery of his household can be achieved without renewing the cycle of bloodshed begun at Troy.
