The story of the Odyssey is an epic branching from the story of the Trojan Wars, those long, ancient wars that broke out between the armies of the Greek city-states and between the armies of Troy and their allies from Asia Minor at that time, and its cause is what we mentioned in the story of the Iliad, when Paris, son of King Priam of Troy, came down as a guest of the king Menelaus, king of Sparta, soon stole his wife and his treasures and fled to Troy, so the ten-year war broke out until the Greek armies were able to storm the city thanks to the trick indicated by Odysseus, the hero of the Odyssey story, which is the trick of the huge wooden horse in which the elite of the bravest knights of the Greek army hid. From what is mentioned in the story of the Trojan Wars... The Odyssey is described as "the epic that inspired generations of writers throughout the ages." Its influence reached a peak in our time, and extended to areas far from literature, such as: industry and commerce. On the literary level, writers were inspired by The Odyssey in new creations, such as James Joyce's novel "Ulysses", Nikos Kazantzakis' epic novel "The Odyssey: A Contemporary Sequel", and the collection of "The Dawn of the Odyssey" by the Egyptian poet Muhammad Al-Barqi. Modern Arabic poetry was also influenced by this epic. A number of writers rewrote the novel, The Odyssey, in prose, with different visions. Number of pages: 239
