When the War Ends But the Battle Continues
A soldier survives ten years of brutal warfare, only to spend another decade trying to get home. His wife fends off over a hundred aggressive suitors. His son grows from infant to man without ever knowing his father's face. When they finally reunite, the homecoming isn't tender-it's drenched in blood. This is Homer's *Odyssey*, an ancient epic that understands something we're still grappling with today: the journey home can be harder than the war itself. For nearly three thousand years, this story has captivated audiences-from ancient Greeks gathered around firelight to modern filmmakers like the Coen Brothers reimagining it as "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" Why does a Bronze Age poem about gods and monsters still matter? Because beneath the mythological veneer lies a profoundly human story about identity, belonging, and the cost of trying to reclaim what we've lost.
