"After he plundered the stronghold on the proud height of Troy," (Homer lines 4-5).  ]]> 2021-05-19 17:53:56 UTC https://padlet.com/colclmic000/6m6rx9vvpdfbonl3/wish/1540768147 Mentors colclmic000 https://padlet.com/colclmic000/6m6rx9vvpdfbonl3/wish/1546406270 Odysseus' mentors include, Athena who guided him through the Cyclops when he prayed. "And now I pondered how to hurt him worst, if  but Athena granted what I prayed for. Here are the means I thought would serve my turn," (Homer lines 263-265). other mentors are circe and Tiresseus. Circe helped him pass the sea monsters, Scylla and Charybdis,. "The Goddess reveals his course to him and gives advice on how to avoid the dangers he will face," (Homer lines on the intro to The Sirens). Tiresseus helped Odysseus by telling him, his fortune. "But anguish lies ahead; the god who thunders on the land prepares it, not to be shaken from your track, implacable, in rancor for the son whose eye you blinded," (Homer lines 633-636).]]> 2021-05-21 02:43:11 UTC https://padlet.com/colclmic000/6m6rx9vvpdfbonl3/wish/1546406270 Crossing the threshold colclmic000 https://padlet.com/colclmic000/6m6rx9vvpdfbonl3/wish/1546492597 When Odysseus sails from troy he is crossing the threshold. "Now Zeus the lord of cloud roused in the north" (Homer line 70). Zeus was angry with Odysseus and threw his ship off course. This is the start of many set backs Odysseus faces. ]]> 2021-05-21 03:18:43 UTC https://padlet.com/colclmic000/6m6rx9vvpdfbonl3/wish/1546492597 Battle of Cicones colclmic000 https://padlet.com/colclmic000/6m6rx9vvpdfbonl3/wish/1546508180 Odysseus ends up in Cicones where he kills the residents.

"...high overhead a slab of solid rock to close the close," (Homer lines 184-185). Odysseus planned an escape and used a hot rod to blind Polyphemus. After blinding Polyphemus Odysseus prays to Athena for a way out. "Athena granted what I prayed for," (Homer line 264).]]> 2021-05-21 03:35:14 UTC https://padlet.com/colclmic000/6m6rx9vvpdfbonl3/wish/1546528883 Laestrygonians colclmic000 https://padlet.com/colclmic000/6m6rx9vvpdfbonl3/wish/1546588080 After Odysseus left Aeolus they ended up in at the Laestrygonians. no one showed hospitality breaking the greek value. "... destroy all of Odysseus' ships except the one he is sailing in," (Homer intro to the land of the dead).]]> 2021-05-21 04:08:36 UTC https://padlet.com/colclmic000/6m6rx9vvpdfbonl3/wish/1546588080 The Sirens colclmic000 https://padlet.com/colclmic000/6m6rx9vvpdfbonl3/wish/1546616440 Odysseus had his me tie him to the mast, after plugging their ears with beeswax. He also showed leadership and intelligence by having his men tie him up. "Therefore you are to tie me up, tight as a splint,
erect along the mast, lashed to the mast,
and if I shout and beg to be untied,
take more turns of the rope to muffle me." (Homer 694-698).]]> 2021-05-21 04:26:03 UTC https://padlet.com/colclmic000/6m6rx9vvpdfbonl3/wish/1546616440 Calypso colclmic000 https://padlet.com/colclmic000/6m6rx9vvpdfbonl3/wish/1548089814 Odysseus was captured by Calypso then later escaped.

Athena then disguised him as a beggar and he asked their leader Antinous for food. Odysseus called Antinous out which caused Antinous to get angry and he said "'you think you'll shuffle off and get away after that impudence? Oh no you don't!'" (Homer lines 1226-122). After he said that, he hit Odysseus with a chair.]]> 2021-05-21 15:40:24 UTC https://padlet.com/colclmic000/6m6rx9vvpdfbonl3/wish/1548168101 Odysseus' revenge colclmic000 https://padlet.com/colclmic000/6m6rx9vvpdfbonl3/wish/1548229116 Athena tells Odysseus that he must take revenge on the suitors. Athena then told him there would be a signal for when he takes them out. "...counseling me, will give me word, and I shall signal to you, nodding," (Homer lines 1134-1135). Odysseus' son Telemachus, helps by taking the suitors weapons away but leaving some for him and Odysseus. Telemachus was also tasked with keeping Odysseus' presence a secret. "let no one hear Odysseus is about.
Neither Laertes, nor the swineherd here, nor any slave, nor even Penelope," (Homer lines 1156-1158).]]> 2021-05-21 15:54:08 UTC https://padlet.com/colclmic000/6m6rx9vvpdfbonl3/wish/1548229116 Lotus-Eaters colclmic000 https://padlet.com/colclmic000/6m6rx9vvpdfbonl3/wish/1548231648 Odysseus and his men arrived to a beautiful land that held the Lotus-Eater flower. When they adventured deeper into the island they came across the Lotus-Eater. This beautiful flower."who showed no harm, only offering the sweet Lotus to our friends-- but those who ate this honeyed plant, the Lotus, never cared to report, nor to return," (Homer lines 95-98). It is true that the flower makes me never want to come home.]]> 2021-05-21 15:54:46 UTC https://padlet.com/colclmic000/6m6rx9vvpdfbonl3/wish/1548231648 Summary colclmic000 https://padlet.com/colclmic000/6m6rx9vvpdfbonl3/wish/1548256468 Intelligence and Leadership, are few of the many qualities a hero can hold. It happens that Odysseus holds almost all of them. For example in the cyclops episode Odysseus showed bravery, leadership, intelligence, and hospitality. I drew it from the coals and my four fellows gave me a hand, lugging it near the Cyclops as more than natural force nerved them; straightforward they sprinted, lifted it, and rammed it deep in his crater eye," (Homer 329-333). He was the only one willing to take down the evil cyclops and intelligent enough to find a way too. He saved his men from getting eaten and saved himself. Even in the Sirens he had intelligence "Therefore you are to tie me up, tight as a splint,
erect along the mast, lashed to the mast,
and if I shout and beg to be untied,
take more turns of the rope to muffle me." (Homer 694-698). Odysseus has showed so much hospitality even thought the hardships he's been through. "A wineskin full I brought along, and victuals in a bag,
for in my bones I knew some towering brute would be upon us soon—all outward power,
a wild man, ignorant of civility."(Homer 152-156)
 We have also seen perseverance."you much think hard if you conjure up the fighting strength to take us through" (Homer 1106-1107)
He has struggled on this journey home but he finally made it.

Aeolus decides to help Odysseus, and gives him wind so he can go home. He specifically tells Odysseus' men not to open the sack but the still do. "When they are near home, Odysseus' men open the sack, letting loose a storm that drives them back to Aeola. Aeolus casts them out, having decided that they are detested by the gods." (Homer page 576).]]> 2021-05-21 16:03:22 UTC https://padlet.com/colclmic000/6m6rx9vvpdfbonl3/wish/1548266948 The Defeat of Circe colclmic000 https://padlet.com/colclmic000/6m6rx9vvpdfbonl3/wish/1548303433 Odysseus was given a magic herb by Hermes but his men were not protected. "protected by a magic herb, Odysseus demands that Circe change his men back into human form"(Homer intro to the land of the dead).]]> 2021-05-21 16:11:58 UTC https://padlet.com/colclmic000/6m6rx9vvpdfbonl3/wish/1548303433 Scylla and Charybdis colclmic000 https://padlet.com/colclmic000/6m6rx9vvpdfbonl3/wish/1548324671 Circe tells Odysseus about "the perils of the sea monster Scylla and, nearby, the whirlpool Charybdis" (Homer). Odysseus asks "Zeus help us pull away before we founder"(Homer). Odysseus shows how hes a leader by giving his men words of encouragement. "‘Friends, have we never been in danger before this?"(Homer, 766) ]]> 2021-05-21 16:17:09 UTC https://padlet.com/colclmic000/6m6rx9vvpdfbonl3/wish/1548324671 Allies colclmic000 https://padlet.com/colclmic000/6m6rx9vvpdfbonl3/wish/1548661515 Odysseus had come across trusted people but only few hold the title of Ally. The Phaeacians, Telemachus, and Eumaeus.
The Phaeacians "offers a ship to Odysseus and asks him to tell of his adventures"(Homer). They were trusted with odysseus because he wanted a ship and they gave him one in an exchange for the stories of his adventures. 
Telemachus was already trusted with Odysseus. Telemachus, Odysseus' son helped "hit him between the shoulders, and the lance-head drove
clear through his chest"(Homer 1499-1502). he fought the suitors with his father and had his back. While Eumaeus was jsut there for back up but still had Odysseus' back.

Helios is angry and says "‘O Father Zeus and gods in bliss forever, punish Odysseus’ men! So overweening, now they have killed my peaceful kine, my joy at morning when I climbed the sky of stars, and evening, when I bore westward from heaven. Restitution or penalty they shall pay— and pay in full—or I go down forever to light the dead men in the underworld.’" (Homer 907 to 914). Odysseus' men violate the greek value of honor by killing Helios' cows. "But if he flares up over his heifers lost, wishing our ship destroyed, and if the gods make cause with him, why, then I say: Better open your lungs to a big sea once for all than waste to skin and bones on a lonely island!"(Homer).]]> 2021-05-21 17:43:00 UTC https://padlet.com/colclmic000/6m6rx9vvpdfbonl3/wish/1548662707 The Journey Home colclmic000 https://padlet.com/colclmic000/6m6rx9vvpdfbonl3/wish/1548665380 Finally Odysseus has a glimpse at the sight of home. he was granted a ship from the Phaeacians, and now gets to go to 'Ithaca after an absence of twenty years"(Homer).
