SUMMARY: The Odyssey is one of two major epics of ancient Greek literature attributed to Homer . It is one of the oldest surviving works of literature and remains popular with modern audiences. Like the Iliad , the Odyssey is divided into 24 books . It follows the heroic king of Ithaca , Odysseus , also known by the Latin variant Ulysses, and his homecoming journey after the ten-year long Trojan War . His journey from Troy to Ithaca lasts an additional ten years, during which time he encounters many perils and all of his crewmates are killed. In Odysseus's long absence, he is presumed dead, leaving his wife Penelope and son Telemachus to contend with a group of unruly suitors competing for Penelope's hand in marriage. Alexander Pope (21 May 1688– 30 May 1744) was an English poet, translator, and satirist of the Enlightenment era who is considered one of the most prominent English poets of the early 18th century. An exponent of Augustan literature , Pope is best known for his satirical and discursive poetry including An Essay on Criticism (1711), The Rape of the Lock (1712–1717), The Dunciad (1728–1743), and for his translations of Homer .
