The Odyssey: The Man Who Took Ten Years to Come Home | Sleep Story

Odysseus has been gone for ten years, and the world has forgotten him — or worse, moved on without him. On a distant island, a goddess holds him captive, offering immortality if only he will stop longing for home. But the gods themselves are divided over his fate, and when they finally decide to act, it sets in motion a journey that will take him through monsters, madness, and the very edge of death itself. What waits for him in Ithaca is not the homecoming he imagines, but something far more difficult: a kingdom occupied by wolves, a wife he must win back, and the terrible knowledge that ten years of wandering may have changed him into someone his own home will not recognize.
