Extra Italian Entry The Odyssey

Odysseus is a mythical hero, wise, intelligent, strong and king of the little island of Itaca. When his son is born, Odysseus is requested to the king Agamemnon to fight the war of Troy. After ten bloody years, Odysseus develops a way to conquer the city of Troy (that was still resisting). He develops the idea of the Trojan horse, the Greeks impersonated a retreat and the offering of a huge wooden horse as a tribute to the Trojans. Actually the horse was full of Greek soldiers who later burned the city of Troy and killed everybody. Once victory is achieved Odysseus makes the mistake of insulting the sea god Poseidon and for that he will pay. Odysseus wants to go home but Poseidon controls the route of the seas. In his voyage he will meet the cyclope Polyfemous, the magician Circe, the nymph Calypso, the two beasts Scylla and Cariddi and the princess Nausica. With the appeasement of Poseidon, Odysseus will reach his home (when his son is 20), but the is another problem, a group of princes is trying to steal his throne.
