An odyssey is a long and eventful journey, often characterized by many twists and turns. The term derives from the epic poem 'The Odyssey,' attributed to Homer, which recounts the adventures of the Greek hero Odysseus as he tries to return home following the Trojan War. In a broader sense, an odyssey can refer to any prolonged voyage or experience filled with notable experiences and challenges, often leading to growth or self-discovery.
