Odyssee

The 'Odyssey,' attributed to Homer, was likely composed in the late 8th century BC and is one of the oldest surviving works of Western literature. This epic poem narrates the adventures of Odysseus and his companions as they journey home after the Trojan War. Translated into German by Johann Heinrich Voß in 1781, the term 'Odyssee' has come to signify a long and arduous journey in many languages, reflecting the poem's enduring influence on literature and culture.
