The '''Odyssey''' was an epic poem and sequel to the [[Iliad]] written by [[Homer]], a [[Greece|Greek]] poet, in the 8th century B.C. The main theme of the poem was about [[Odysseus]]' journey home from [[Troy]], his trials along the way, and his eventual reuniting with his wife after dispatching her lecherous suitors. It is to this epic that [[Virgil]] pays tribute in his creation of the masterpiece the liberal Aeneid (books I to XII), best known for its elegant use of hypermetric elision, multiple correspondance similes and litotes. this is further alluded to in the Odyssey, although its claim as the greatest epic of classical times may be disputed by Virgil, as cited by certain scholars (among the renowned Dr. Leary).
