Ulysses, king of Ithaca, recounts the ten years it takes him to return from Troy to his island: a journey in which he must face the Cyclops, resist the Sirens' song and escape the spells of Circe and Calypso. Thanks to his legendary cunning, he returns disguised as a beggar to free his palace from the suitors harassing Penelope.
