What did Homer say about after the Trojan war?

In Homer's epic poems, particularly the "Iliad," the focus is primarily on the events leading up to and during the Trojan War. However, he touches on the aftermath in the "Odyssey," which follows the Greek hero Odysseus as he struggles to return home to Ithaca after the war. The war's conclusion brought devastation to Troy and significant losses for the Greeks, leading to themes of heroism, loss, and the challenges of returning to normalcy in the post-war world. The aftermath also explores the idea of fate and the consequences of the characters' actions during the war.
