The Odyssey Universe The war begins when Paris, Prince of Troy, leaves for Troy with Helen, the wife of Menelaus, King of Sparta. To reclaim his wife and defend his honor, Menelaus forms an alliance with various Greek kings to attack Troy. The Greek forces fail to breach the walls of Troy for ten years, but Odysseus devises a scheme involving a massive wooden horse. By pretending the Greek army has withdrawn and hiding soldiers inside the horse to be brought into Troy, they open the gates for the Greek forces, leading to the fall of Troy. Although the war ends in a Greek victory, Odysseus is haunted by the atrocities committed during the war and by the guilt of those who died. He sets sail for the sea to return to his wife Penelope and son Telemachus in Ithaca, but he has yet to reach home, enduring countless trials and wandering.
