The Odyssey starts with a nymph, a King and the aftermath of war at Troy. It has been a decade since Odysseus left for his home Ithaca after the Trojan War. For 7 years he's been ensnared by the nymph Calypso, but he's pining for his wife Penelope and son Telemachus. The goddess Athena is rather a fan of Odysseus. She persuades her father Zeus to compel Calypso to free him.
He's been gone for 20 years feared dead and Penelope's fending off 108 suitors. She says she'll marry one when she finishes her weaving. Telemachus searches for new but, meanwhile, a higher power plots his father's downfall. The sea god Poseidon really dislikes Odysseus. And Odysseus is left stranded once more in Scheria. But Odysseus entrances his host, the Phaeacians, with tales of his Odyssey and his many escapes from, the cyclops Polyphemus, the sorceress Circe, the sirens, the supernatural Scylla and the whirlpool of Charybdis. And the reward of his stirring story is going back home.

As he went home, Odysseus needs to stay incognito. Ever helpful, Athena turns him into a beggar and reunited with his son they celebrate by agreeing Penelope's suitors must die. The fair Penelope arranges a competition she'll marry whoever can string Odysseus's huge bow. The suitors lose more than a contest. Odysseus is home, and Ithaca is his again. Athena celebrates, Poseidon doesn't. Odysseus is in the clear and ready for life with Penelope
It was also mentioned that the Trojans had big walls protecting them from the Greeks. The Greeks then made a wooden horse and gave it to the Trojans. The Trojans took the horse inside their walls. They thought the horse was a surrender gift. But inside the horse were the Greeks. While the Trojans slept the Greeks came out and defeated the Trojans.

You don't know that one day the person will use all your weaknesses. So better be an observant and always be courageous even if you only got yourself
