Classic Novels: The Odyssey

We'll discuss The Odyssey (#31 on our list). It was written in 800 B.C. by Homer, although there's some debate if he really wrote it or even existed. The historical epic poem is what Amazon called "the original collection of tall traveler’s tales," following Odysseus on his journey to get back home. It relays the events of the war between Greece and the city of Troy over nine years. Read more here.
