From him, many other poets in Ancient Greece told their versions of the Odyssey. Unfortunately, as Greek civilization died out, as did the poets. The Odyssey may have first been written down as early as 500 BCE, and the first written translation into English came in 1615. ]]> 2017-01-26 14:20:32 UTC https://padlet.com/malonebryn/odyssey/wish/149597825 malonebryn https://padlet.com/malonebryn/odyssey/wish/149602116 The Odyssey is an epic poem about the heroes journey, homecoming, and wandering. This book is at a high-school reading level and is appropriate for the maturity levels of high schoolers as well based on the amount of violence and suffering represented. ]]> 2017-01-26 14:29:45 UTC https://padlet.com/malonebryn/odyssey/wish/149602116 malonebryn https://padlet.com/malonebryn/odyssey/wish/149605522 2017-01-26 14:37:05 UTC https://padlet.com/malonebryn/odyssey/wish/149605522 malonebryn https://padlet.com/malonebryn/odyssey/wish/149606445 The Odyssey has been translated into at least 30 different languages worldwide. There are many variations on the English translations. The copy I used was published by Random House, Inc., 1992. ]]> 2017-01-26 14:38:57 UTC https://padlet.com/malonebryn/odyssey/wish/149606445 malonebryn https://padlet.com/malonebryn/odyssey/wish/149618254 Ten years after the fall of Troy, Odysseus still has not returned home to Ithaca. A band of men has invaded his home and is attempting to court his wife, as they believe him dead. The goddess Athena persuades Odysseus’s son Telemachus to seek his father by finding his father’s old comrades. Telemachus hears stories of his fathers adventures as Athena frees Odysseus from the island of Circe where he has been a prisoner for the past eight years. ]]> 2017-01-26 15:01:49 UTC https://padlet.com/malonebryn/odyssey/wish/149618254 malonebryn https://padlet.com/malonebryn/odyssey/wish/149626222 My word, how mortals take the gods to task! All their afflictions come from us, we hear. And what of their own failings? Greed and folly double the suffering in the lot of man. See how Aigisthos, for his double portion, stole Agamemnon's wife and killed the soldier on his homecoming day. ]]> 2017-01-26 15:17:19 UTC https://padlet.com/malonebryn/odyssey/wish/149626222
