I think that Odysseus wanted to return homeland at first time but he changed his mind because of some situations. He did not want to give up his journeys. I feel that he loves his adventures. He might not be ready to go home. So I do not totally trust in Odysseus’s desire to return home. I think Homer felt like Odysseus.

I agree with you that at first Odyssey might have had a wish to return home, but that he may have changed his mind along the way. It seems that even though his intentions to return home are pure, his longing after adventures are standing in his way. You state, “He might not be ready to go home.”, and I agree that Odyssey might be a man who will never be ready to leave his adventures behind and that is perhaps what Homer is trying to depict.
