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 themes of the poem are [[Odysseus]]' journey home from [[Troy]] after winning the [[Trojan War]] and his trials along the way. During his journey he encounters many mythical beasts including a cyclops which he blinds. Unbeknown to Odysseus the cyclops is the son of the great sea god [[Poseidon]] who makes it his mission to stop Odysseus from ever reaching his home of [[Ithaca]]. He eventually does reach his home with the help of other gods, especially [[Athena]], and he reunites with his wife after dispatching her lecherous suitors.
