Ancient myths aren’t just stories—they’re alive in today’s politics, especially in Australia’s Victoria, where the Liberal Party’s comeback mirrors Odysseus’ epic journey home. No single hero saves the day; instead, the party itself becomes the monster, with leaders falling prey to scandals and stale debates. Even the Greek concept of hospitality—xenia—shows up in fiery political rhetoric, like Pauline Hanson’s return with bold stances. After 12 years in the wilderness, the party’s path to power is fraught with twists, and voters will need to decide who leads them forward. The Odyssey’s timeless lessons? They’re still guiding modern political battles.
