Odysseus: The hero of Ithaca is a retelling of ancient Greek tales shaped for younger audiences, centered on the legendary journey of a hero whose intelligence and perseverance define his legacy. Opening with the circumstances that led to a great war, the story introduces the abduction of a queen and the ensuing alliance of powerful leaders who embark on a prolonged siege. Among them, one figure stands out not only for his strength but for his unmatched cunning.

The narrative emphasizes this journey as a test of endurance, wisdom, and loyalty.
