His works are about fifty per cent speeches and provide models in persuasive writing and speaking.
In the Odyssey, the journey of the eponymous character Odysseus—the legendary king of Ithaca, is recounted. After the ten-year-long Trojan War and the fall of the city of Troy, he spends the next ten eventful years struggling to return home.
