The beginning of wandering. The Trojan War has long ended. Her heroes returned home, their deeds became legends under the walls of Troy, singers composed their songs about them. Only Odysseus did not return. By the will of the immortal gods, for many years he traveled the seas, visited many cities and countries, and experienced various adventures.

With a fair wind, he sailed from under Troy. He was glad of his soul: he would soon reach his homeland - the island of Ithaki, soon embrace Penelope, his beloved wife, and the son of Telemachus whom he had not seen for ten years. But the peaceful voyage did not last long: the thunderbird sent the north wind of Boreas to Odyssey's ships. Dark clouds came in the sky, all darkness enveloped; three times the god Boreas took the sail from the masts of the ships. If it had not happened near a small island, near the shores of which there was a lull, Odyssey's ships would have died in the depths of the sea.
