The Odyssey, of course, is steeped in ancient history - Homer's epic following the Greek hero Odysseus as he does all he can to return home to his wife Penelope and son Telemachus following the long siege of Troy led by Agamemnon and his brother Menelaus. Odysseus is responsible for coming up with the plan to hide a select group inside a horse - presented as a …
