It consists of 24 books and is attributed to the poet Homer, although it likely preserves a much older storytelling tradition. The poem follows Ulysses (Odysseus), the king of Ithaca, as he attempts to return home after fighting in the Trojan War. The Odyssey holds major cultural significance as one of the foundational texts of Western literature. It influenced ancient education, storytelling, and values, and has preserved key aspects of Greek mythology, heroism, and social customs. About Book 23: Eurycleia tells Penelope of Ulysses’s (Odysseus’s) return. Penelope tests him by mentioning their bed, which he built around a tree. His knowledge proves his identity. They reunite in joy and sorrow. Ulysses recounts his trials. Minerva (Athena) extends the night to give them time together. Their bond is restored, and peace begins to return. The reunion marks the emotional climax of the epic.
