A short story of the epic poem of Odysseus, with a little twist of my own. ~ Odysseus' 10-year struggle to return home after the Trojan War. While Odysseus battles mystical creatures and faces the wrath of the gods, his wife Penelope and his son Telemachus stave off suitors vying for Penelope's hand and Ithaca's throne long enough for Odysseus to return. ~ This was an assignment in class, so as I write this it would be nice for feedback!
