The document describes Odysseus' journey home to Ithaca after the Trojan War. Poseidon was angry at Odysseus for disrespecting him and vowed that Odysseus would wander the seas forever and never return home. After 7 years with Calypso, Odysseus finally made it back to Ithaca to his loving wife Penelope and son Telemachus, though Poseidon remained angry and had other plans that meant it would be many more years before Odysseus returned home.
