Langston Hughes's stories deal with and serve as a commentary of conditions befalling African Americans during the Depression Era.

Odysseus or Ulysees was captured by a woman and trapped on an island on his way home from Troy to his hometown of Ithaca. The god Zeus helps him to escape. Soon, he disguises himself as a beggar to investigate the relation of his wife Penelope to her suitors. He finds out they are vying to take her as their wife (away from Odysseus) so he competes in a competition for her hand with bows and arrows.
