1. The genre of the story is Epic Poem.
The setting of the story is in the
Mediterranean Coast. It was written
8th Century BCE. by Homer.
Odysseus tells how he and his
twelve ships were driven off
course by storms, and how they
visited the lethargic Lotus-Eaters.
They narrowly escaped from the
cannibal Laestrygones, only to
encounter the witch-goddess
Circe soon after.
After a year of feasting and
drinking on Circe’s island, the
Greeks again set off, reaching the
western edge of the world.
Odysseus made a sacrifice to the
dead. Advised once more by
Circe on the remaining stages of
their journey, they skirted the
land of the Sirens and passed
between Scylla and Charybdis.
Telemachus, the son of Odysseus, is
told by Menelaus that his father is
being held captive by the nymph
Calypso. Encouraged by the goddess
Athena, Telemachus sets out to look
for his father. He is freed by Hermes
and Zeus, but his makeshift boat is
wrecked by Poseidon.
Odysseus is brought to the
Phaeacian island of Ithaca,
disguised as a wandering beggar
and telling a fictitious tale of
himself. Through Athena's
machinations, he meets up with his
own son, Telemachus, just
returning from Sparta, and they
agree that the insolent and
impatient suitors must be killed.
