Coming up, the story finally returns to Odysseus himself, still stranded far from home on the beautiful island of Calypso. At last, the gods decide that his long captivity must end, but his journey across the sea proves anything but safe. After facing a terrifying storm and being cast helplessly onto a strange shore, Odysseus encounters the young princess Nausicaa, whose kindness may offer him his first real hope of getting home.

Faced with Priam’s grief, Achilles was reminded of his own father and of the terrible losses caused by war, and for a time anger gave way to compassion. The story then returned to the final days of Troy and to the cunning of Odysseus. The Greeks devised the famous wooden horse, hiding warriors inside while the rest of the army appeared to sail away, and the Trojans brought the strange offering within their city walls. That night, the hidden Greeks emerged, opened the gates to their returning army, and the long war finally came to an end. Menelaus finished telling Telemachus what he knew of Odysseus and sent him away with renewed hope that his father was still alive. Telemachus then began his journey back towards Ithaka, where danger still waited for him—and where the story of Odysseus was drawing ever closer to home.
