Credits: Produced by Tapio Riikonen
Summary: "Odysseun harharetket: Suorasanaisesti kerrottuna" by Homer is a prose adaptation of the ancient Greek epic "The Odyssey," likely written in the 20th century. Aimed particularly at Finnish youth, this version seeks to make the narrative of Odysseus's adventures accessible while not replacing the beauty of the original poetic form. The central character is the wise and resourceful hero Odysseus, who longs to return to his home in Ithaca after the Trojan War. The opening of the work introduces the circumstances of Odysseus's long journey home, detailing the fate of the Greek heroes after the fall of Troy. It focuses on Odysseus, who is still wandering the seas, plagued by Poseidon's wrath. As the gods discuss his plight, we learn of the actions of Athena, who plans to assist him. Simultaneously, back in Ithaca, Odysseus's son Telemachus grapples with the chaos caused by the suitors vying for his mother Penelope's hand in marriage, reflecting his own struggles with his father's absence. This sets the stage for both Odysseus's impending challenges and Telemachus's quest for knowledge about his father, introducing themes of longing, perseverance, and the search for identity.
