Detailed explanation-1: -Exposition (books 1–4) The Odyssey begins after the end of the ten-year Trojan War (the subject of the Iliad), from which Odysseus (also known by the Latin variant Ulysses), king of Ithaca, has still not returned because he angered Poseidon, the god of the sea.
Detailed explanation-2: -Rather than starting where The Iliad left off, The Odyssey begins after Achilles has died and the Greeks have won the Trojan War. In fact, it begins ten years after the war has ended, with Telemachus and Penelope longing for Odysseus to finally return to Ithaca, where he is meant to be ruling.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Greeks won the Trojan War. According to the Roman epic poet Virgil, the Trojans were defeated after the Greeks left behind a large wooden horse and pretended to sail for home. Unbeknown to the Trojans, the wooden horse was filled with Greek warriors.
