The Odyssey (Greek: Ὀδύσσεια Odýsseia] in Classical Attic) is one of two major ancient Greek epic poems attributed to Homer. It is, in part, a sequel to the Iliad, the other work ascribed to Homer. The Odyssey is fundamental to the modern Western canon, and is the second-oldest extant work of Western literature; the Iliad is the oldest. Scholars believe the Odyssey was composed near the end of the 8th century BC, somewhere in Ionia, the Greek coastal region of Anatolia. The poem mainly focuses on the Greek hero Odysseus (known as Ulysses in Roman myths), king of Ithaca, and his journey home after the fall of Troy. It takes Odysseus ten years to reach Ithaca after the ten-year Trojan War. In his absence, it is assumed Odysseus has died, and his wife Penelope and son Telemachus must deal with a group of unruly suitors, the Mnesteres (Greek: Μνηστῆρες) or Proci, who compete for Penelope's hand in marriage.

The Iliad (sometimes referred to as the Song of Ilion or Song of Ilium) is an ancient Greek epic poem in dactylic hexameter, traditionally attributed to Homer. Set during the Trojan War, the ten-year siege of the city of Troy (Ilium) by a coalition of Greek states, it tells of the battles and events during the weeks of a quarrel between King Agamemnon and the warrior Achilles. The Iliad is paired with something of a sequel, the Odyssey, also attributed to Homer. Along with the Odyssey, the Iliad is among the oldest extant works of Western literature, and its written version is usually dated to around the 8th century BC. Recent statistical modelling based on language evolution gives a date of 760-710 BC.

"No! No, no no, NO!" His shouts could be heard through the corridors of the prison. The two women laughed. The cold burned his bare chest as he heaved, a pathetic attempt to grasp any air he could. He could feel her hot breath near his neck. He tried to get away, but his arms wouldn't let him get far enough and his legs felt like jelly. He was trapped. He could feel the towering figure of the girl in front of him as she stared down at him intently. He felt her small hands cup his face and pull it put to look at her. She closed the distance between them and the woman behind him chuckled as she rubbed his chest. He felt the world spinning around him, unable to fight off the two of his attackers. The throbbing pain in his head intensified and his ears started to ring. He began to give in to the lulling comfort of darkness. Before he knew it, his entire body fell limp in their hands, unknowing of anything that aspired next. Or Zuko seriously loses his cool, but it's completely warranted given the month-long torture he had to endure.
