The name 'Odyssey' derives from an epic poem written by the Greek poet, [[Wikipedia:Homer|Homer]]. The story follows a commander, Odysseus, who gets lost on his return from the Trojan War, sailing to various places over the course of two decades. The name is fitting for the ship because of the parallels: humanity embarks on a long voyage after emerging from the Interplanetary War. 'Odyssey' was also the callsign of the Command Module for the April 1970 Apollo 13 mission around the Moon. | The name 'Odyssey' derives from an epic poem written by the Greek poet, [[Wikipedia:Homer|Homer]].
