2. In the the beginning, Odysseus didn’t think about loyalty all that much because he was confident in his journey. After everything that happened to him he was forced to become loyal to the gods and his family so that he could make it home safe. He definitely had a transformation in loyalty so that he could be on the right side of the gods.

1.) Odysseus’ overall struggle of abandonment and isolation from the gods seems to be the most difficult struggle in his journey. This is evident in Odyssyus prideful, impulsive actions that leads the gods to punish him. For instance, the killing of Polyphemus (Posideon’s son) was out of rash descision which contributed to the isolation from the gods Odyssyus endures. These prideful actions accumulate and leave Odyssyus with the overall struggle of abandonment.
