After the Trojan war, Odysseus sails home with his men. During his long journey, he faces challenges such as the "cyclops," the Sirens, and other fantastical creatures. He hurries home because suitors are trying to take his wife's hand in marriage. When Odysseus gets home, he wins a challenge, reclaims his life, and kills all the suitors.
