Odysseus is called to adventure when he leaves his ordinary life in Ithaca to take part in the Trojan War — that summons sets him on the long, transformative journey that becomes his nostos (the return) and is narrated in The Odyssey.
(If you’re mapping his story onto Campbell’s Hero’s Journey more narrowly, some critics treat the specific “call” for the Odyssey itself as the moment Troy falls and Odysseus sets sail for home, which immediately launches the series of trials — Cyclops, Lotus‑Eaters, Circe, the Underworld, etc.)
