What is The Odyssey about? The story picks up where Homer’s previous epic, The Iliad, left off. The Iliad is the story of the Trojan War, in which a coalition of Greek states battled the city of Troy in order to rescue their kidnapped queen, Helen of Sparta. Helen became known as “Helen of Troy,” “the woman with the face who launched a thousand ships.” Helen of Troy by Evelyn de Morgan (1898, London)

What is The Odyssey about? The Greeks eventually won the war by hiding inside a giant wooden horse (“the Trojan Horse”) they gave as a present to the Trojans, taking the Trojans by surprise once inside the castle walls, but this is not actually included in The Iliad. m/2012/07/29/beware-the-trojan-horse/ Odysseus, the hero of The Odyssey, was one of the soldiers who fought in the Trojan War.
