Athena had a big role in Odysseus journey because she thought they were so alike. She also helped escape polyphemus by having all his sheep go in his cave, " but my men riding on the pectoral fleece the giant's blind hands blundering never found" (Homer 394-395) and Odysseus men escaped on the under belly of his sheep. Circe had another big role in his journey The only thing she did that wasn't helpful was that she turned half his crew into pigs. But she helped him because she "gives advice on how to avoid the dangers he will face" He was protected under a magic herb which he was given from hermes. Teiresias helped Odysseus out by telling him about poseidon and how polyphemus will soon get his revenge and also about Helios cows which he said if you kill his cattle your crew will face terrible "you'll find grazing herds of helios by whom all things are seen, all speech is know Avoid those kine"

Odysseus and his men were at sea they where adrift for a total of 10 days. They soon "we came to the coastline of the Lotus-Eaters who live upon the flower."

When entering the Wandering Rocks"The Wandering Rocks, sea rocks that destroy even birds in flight." (Homer 674) The sirens soon helped Odysseus grasp something called leadership. When he soon would have to make the worst decision is him having to tie his men down to his ship, and they would have to but wax into their ears so they can't hear the calls of the sirens.

"Get the oar shafts in your hands, and lay back hard on your benches; hit these breaking seas. "Zeus help us pull away before we founder." (Homer 774) Another greek value that was upheld was leadership, because he took the ship to Scylla. Where it would cause less damage to the whole crew and Scylla can only take a few crewmates at a time. "Then Scylla made her whisking six of my best men from the ship." (Homer 809) Scylla soon had a meal of the men and he soon moved on with the rest of his crew.

We remember the story of the Sun God from Teiresias telling him to avoid the cattle at all costs. Because it would cause us all to perish and would soon cause us to die. Then soon Odysseus left to find a quiet place to worship the gods . While he was gone his crew got a little hungry and they decided to rally. "You've gone through everything; listen to what i say. All deaths are hateful to us, mortal wretches." (Homer 864) when he got back from worshiping the gods odysseus smelled the burning of flesh and he soon realized what has happened.

The Phaeacians help Odysseus by giving him a few things"the next day Phaeacian nobleman conduct him home by ship. He arrives home in Ithaca after an absence of twenty years." (Homer 998) They helped him because they got him home obviously. Telemachus is Odysseus son and has been waiting for his return just like his mom penelope. We also soon see Odysseus old friend Eumaeus, who is eating breakfast with Odysseus suddenly his son Telemachus arrives and athena appears to him.

The main people Odysseus has to worry about when he arrives home is the suitors, who are trying to win courtship of his wife. So he and his son team up "You together will bring doom on the suitors in this town." (Homer 1012) He soon meets one of the strongest but prideful suitors Antinous who he kills after proving to penelope that he is her husband. He then soon killed all the suitors, because of them taking his food and other resources, and also trying to wed his wife.

The Ordeal is when Odysseus crew soon disregarded the god helios and also the cattle that were on his island. They soon felt the raff of the gods once they left the island and this made soon realized their fate. "O Father Zeus and gods and bliss forever, punish Odysseus men!" (Homer 907) another thing that wasn't great about this was the greek value not upheld was hospitality specifically from this line "Then savory odors of burnt fat eddied around me;" (Homer 896)

"Numerous Suitors, believing Odysseus to be dead, have been continually seeking the hand of his wife, Penelope, in marriage." (Homer 1000) He soon gets revenge on the suitors by taking them out one by one, but of course they didn't stand a chance against the powerful odysseus.

Obviously Odysseus reward is his family who he gets to see after twenty long years at sea, of  course he does not truly get to watch his son grow up, but he gets to still see him and of course that's  just as big of a reward. Another reward for Odysseus is getting his final revenge on the suitors "The man is implacable. Now that he's got his hands on a bow and quiver he'll shoot from the big doorstone there until he kills us to the last man." (Homer 1475)

"Zeus help us pull away before we founder." (Homer 774) This quote is under the greek value of leadership which surprisingly doesn't happen very often because of his crew. The second is "The island ruled by the sorceress-goddess Circe. She transforms half of the men into swine." (Homer 534) is another leadership because of how he didn't forget about his men and came back when most would come back. "They sail for seven days in the land of the Laestrygonians, a group of cannibals." (Homer 529) This was a case of courage, which is because he stood in the battle against the cannibals, and he didn't leave until he was forced to. The Fourth and final quote is "Numerous Suitors, believing Odysseus to be dead, have been continually seeking the hand of his wife, Penelope, in marriage." (Homer 1000) This leads into how he and only his son took down all the suitors which takes tons of courage because they are only two people and against a whole militia of men.
