I. Troy Is Over

For ten long years the Greeks fought against the city of Troy. At last the war was over. Troy was burning, and the Greek kings were ready to sail home.

One of these kings was Odysseus. The Romans later called him Ulysses, and some old English books use that name. Odysseus was not the strongest of the Greeks, but he was the cleverest. It was his idea to build a great wooden horse and hide soldiers inside it. The people of Troy pulled the horse into their city, and that was the end of Troy.

Odysseus was the king of Ithaca, a small, rocky island in the west. His wife Penelope was waiting for him there. When he left for the war, their son Telemachus was only a baby. Now the boy was ten years old, and he did not know his father’s face.
