While he is on his journey, he longs to be back home. And it's not just Odysseus that feels this way.

Out of all the epics/stories listed above, Oedipus Rex portrays grief the best. In Oedipus Rex, Oedipus is considered hero of the village, because he solved the sphinx's riddle, saving the citizens from the sphinx. however, Oedipus has been cursed by the gods from birth. He was cursed to kill his father, and marry his mother. When his biological parents hear this news, they cast Oedipus out as a infant, and he grows up never knowing his biological parents.
When Oedipus eventually hears this news, he runs away from his homeland, with the hope of avoiding the curse. While he is running away from his homeland, he runs into his biological father, and kills him in a chariot crash. He then unknowingly marries his mother, and they rule as king and queen. He then finds out he has fulfilled his curse, and he stabs his eyes out; because he no longer wants to see the truth. His mother also hangs herself, adding to the already tragic ending.
