HOPE YOU ARE PATIENT:D
Tell me, O Muse, of the man of many devices, who wandered full many ways after he had sacked the sacred citadel of Troy. (Odyssey) Homer

Synopses of Book I in The Odyssey.
The poet or narrator “invokes the Muse” asking her to start her story wherever she chooses, of our hero, Odysseus, who has travelled far and wide after the Trojan war. You see, Poseidon, who has kept Odysseus away from his land, Ithaca, is gone. The gods agree it’s time to let him come home. Athena descends to Ithaca, disguised as King Mentes, to talk with Telemachus, Odysseus’ son. The house is full of rowdy young men that are eating him out of house and home under the pretext of courting his mother, Penelope, who has not made up her mind about remarrying. Mentes or Athena predicts Odysseus’ return, prompts Telemachus to give up boyhood, act like a man, present his case to the assembly, and take strong steps to ascertain his father’s whereabouts. When Penelope comes down from her room to tell the bard Phemius to quit singing sad stories of Troy, Telemachus takes the chance to assert himself: he tells her to leave such matters to him, he is the master of the house.
