The protagonist, epic hero, and King of Ithaca lives in Ithaca with his wife, Penelope, and his son, Telemachus. ]]> 2021-05-19 00:31:17 UTC https://padlet.com/parislex000_2/ht7k3pd96s65een4/wish/1537891899 Call to Adventure/Refusing the Call parislex000_2 https://padlet.com/parislex000_2/ht7k3pd96s65een4/wish/1537906132 Odysseus' call to adventure was fighting in the Trojan War where he "...plundered the stronghold on the proud height of Troy" (Homer Lines 4-5). He did not want to fight in the war, but Athena convinced him to use his intelligence to defeat the Trojans. ]]> 2021-05-19 00:40:20 UTC https://padlet.com/parislex000_2/ht7k3pd96s65een4/wish/1537906132 Mentors parislex000_2 https://padlet.com/parislex000_2/ht7k3pd96s65een4/wish/1537906947 Odysseus had three mentors, Athena, Circe, and Tiresias. In the Cyclops, Athena sent in all of Polyphemus' sheep. Odysseus says that "by some sheepherding whim—or a god’s bidding—none were left outside"(Homer Lines 287-288). He prayed to the gods and Athena helped him.

Circe helps him in The Sirens, where she "foresaw for [them] and shared with [him], so...[they] die with [their] eyes open" (Homer Lines 687-689). She gives them insight on what's to come giving him time to plan.

Tiresias helps Odysseus in the Land of the Dead. She tells him what is going to happen and what to expect. He tells Odysseus that he will make it home but he will find "insolent men eating [his] livestock as they court [his] lady"(Homer Lines 649-650). He also tells him his men will die before returning to Ithaca.]]> 2021-05-19 00:40:50 UTC https://padlet.com/parislex000_2/ht7k3pd96s65een4/wish/1537906947 Crossing the Threshold parislex000_2 https://padlet.com/parislex000_2/ht7k3pd96s65een4/wish/1537908626 In the Land of the Dead, Odysseus crosses the threshold by going to Hades in the search of Tiresias.  Odysseus goes to "consult the blind prophet Tiresias" and see the path that lies before him (Homer). This is what Circe told Odysseus to do.]]> 2021-05-19 00:41:53 UTC https://padlet.com/parislex000_2/ht7k3pd96s65een4/wish/1537908626 Allies parislex000_2 https://padlet.com/parislex000_2/ht7k3pd96s65een4/wish/1537911388 Odysseus has 3 allies, the Phaecians, Telemachus, and Eumaeus. The Phaecians are allies of Odysseus because they "[offer] a ship to Odysseus" so that he can get home(Homer).

Telemachus is an ally because he 
"belted his sword on, clapped hand to his spear, and... stood by his chair, in the forefront near his father"(Homer Lines 1403-1405).

Eumaeus is an ally because Odysseus was "Aided by Athena... Telemachus, Eumaeus, and other faithful herdsmen [to] kill all the suitors"(Homer).]]> 2021-05-19 00:43:32 UTC https://padlet.com/parislex000_2/ht7k3pd96s65een4/wish/1537911388 Enemies parislex000_2 https://padlet.com/parislex000_2/ht7k3pd96s65een4/wish/1537911758 Odysseus's enemies are the suitors. They are going after his wife, eating his food, and let a stool "fly [and] hit the man’s right shoulder"(Homer Line 1228). Mainly Antinous is his greatest enemy because he disrespects Odysseus and shows excessive pride. ]]> 2021-05-19 00:43:46 UTC https://padlet.com/parislex000_2/ht7k3pd96s65een4/wish/1537911758 The Ordeal parislex000_2 https://padlet.com/parislex000_2/ht7k3pd96s65een4/wish/1537912078 In the Cattle of the Sun God, Odysseus reaches his ordeal where Odysseus's men eat Helios's cows, violating hospitality, so they are killed. Odysseus was asleep and was told when Lampetia said "They have killed your kine"(Homer Line 905). He then finds himself being led out towards Charybdis by Zeus and ends up grabbing onto a tree branch and "clung grimly, thinking [his] mast and keel
would come back to the surface when she spouted"(Homer Lines 976-977).]]> 2021-05-19 00:43:58 UTC https://padlet.com/parislex000_2/ht7k3pd96s65een4/wish/1537912078 The Supreme Ordeal parislex000_2 https://padlet.com/parislex000_2/ht7k3pd96s65een4/wish/1537912419 The supreme ordeal is the final battle between Odysseus and the suitors in Odysseus' Revenge. He is aided by Athena because "Athena’s arm is over [him]"(Homer Line 1110). The greek value of hospitality was violated because the Antinous had "hit the man’s right shoulder" previously in the story(Homer Line 1228). In the end, Odysseus killed all the suitors.]]> 2021-05-19 00:44:12 UTC https://padlet.com/parislex000_2/ht7k3pd96s65een4/wish/1537912419 Journey Home parislex000_2 https://padlet.com/parislex000_2/ht7k3pd96s65een4/wish/1537913510 Odysseus' journey home was full of many twists and turns. He told King Alcinious that he was from the "peaked sea-mark of Ithaca"(Homer Line 21). He told him about how he was "detained long by Calypso" but never thought himself unloyal(Homer Line 29). ]]> 2021-05-19 00:44:54 UTC https://padlet.com/parislex000_2/ht7k3pd96s65een4/wish/1537913510 Reward parislex000_2 https://padlet.com/parislex000_2/ht7k3pd96s65een4/wish/1537913955 In the end of this epic poem, Odysseus "wept at last, his dear wife, clear and faithful, [was in] his arms"(Homer Lines 1614-1615). This is what he longed for an dhe finally gets what he has longed for for the past 20 years.]]> 2021-05-19 00:45:10 UTC https://padlet.com/parislex000_2/ht7k3pd96s65een4/wish/1537913955 Test: Battle of the Cicones parislex000_2 https://padlet.com/parislex000_2/ht7k3pd96s65een4/wish/1540972147 In Sailing From Troy, Odysseus gets in a battle with the Cicones. His men had "stormed that place and killed the men who fought... and [they] enslaved the women"(Homer Lines 43-44). The Cicones were not happy about this so a battle ensued. Athena was the goddess that convinced Odysseus to go to fight in the Trojan War due to his intelligence and leadership skills. These were tested in Sailing from Troy.]]> 2021-05-19 18:43:58 UTC https://padlet.com/parislex000_2/ht7k3pd96s65een4/wish/1540972147 Test: The Lotus-Eaters parislex000_2 https://padlet.com/parislex000_2/ht7k3pd96s65een4/wish/1540973409 In The Lotus-Eaters, Odysseus shows his leadership skills when he tells his men not to "taste the Lotus, or [they] lose [their] hope of home"(Homer Lines 104-105). Another example of his leadership is when he only sends three men because if he sent all of his men they could all die.]]> 2021-05-19 18:44:18 UTC https://padlet.com/parislex000_2/ht7k3pd96s65een4/wish/1540973409 Test: The Cyclops parislex000_2 https://padlet.com/parislex000_2/ht7k3pd96s65een4/wish/1540975198 In The Cyclops, Odysseus and his men come upon an island and find large amounts of whey and cheese. Odysseus upholds the value of hospitality by bringing a bottle of "sweet liquor" for anyone they come across. In this episode, Athena brings all of the sheep inside after Polyphemus traps Odysseus and his men. They escape via sheep and as they are sailing away odysseus tells the Cyclops "if ever mortal man inquire how [he was] put to shame and blinded, tell [them]
Odysseus, raider of cities"(Homer Lines 457-460). This violates the value of excessive pride because he is being arrogant by telling his name to Polyphemus. ]]> 2021-05-19 18:44:48 UTC https://padlet.com/parislex000_2/ht7k3pd96s65een4/wish/1540975198 Test: Aeolia parislex000_2 https://padlet.com/parislex000_2/ht7k3pd96s65een4/wish/1540979580 Odysseus and his men "sail to Aeolia, where Aeolus, king of the winds, sends Odysseus on his way with a gift"(Homer). The gift was a sack that him and his men were not to open. In return, Aeolus will gift them with all of the winds but the "favorable west wind"(Homer).]]> 2021-05-19 18:45:56 UTC https://padlet.com/parislex000_2/ht7k3pd96s65een4/wish/1540979580 Test: Lastrygonians parislex000_2 https://padlet.com/parislex000_2/ht7k3pd96s65een4/wish/1540980410 Odysseus came upon the a race of cannibals known as the Laestrygonians that "...[destroyed] all of Odysseus’ ships except the one he [was] sailing in"(Homer).]]> 2021-05-19 18:46:07 UTC https://padlet.com/parislex000_2/ht7k3pd96s65een4/wish/1540980410 Test: Defeat of Circe parislex000_2 https://padlet.com/parislex000_2/ht7k3pd96s65een4/wish/1540982207 Circe "[transformed] half of [Odysseus']men into swine." but Odysseus is protected by a magical herb that was provided by Hermes(Homer). After a year Odysseus and his men depart.]]> 2021-05-19 18:46:32 UTC https://padlet.com/parislex000_2/ht7k3pd96s65een4/wish/1540982207 Test: Resisting the Sirens parislex000_2 https://padlet.com/parislex000_2/ht7k3pd96s65een4/wish/1540983708 Odysseus has an encounter with sirens in the episode, The Sirens. Circe had told him what to expect and what he should do. He was to put "beeswax into bits and [roll] them in [his] hands until they softened" with the help of Helios (Homer Lines 708-709). Then his men tie Odysseus up so he will not go to the Sirens. This ends up working due to the fact that they listened to Circe's instrucions.]]> 2021-05-19 18:46:56 UTC https://padlet.com/parislex000_2/ht7k3pd96s65een4/wish/1540983708 Test: Scylla and Charybdis parislex000_2 https://padlet.com/parislex000_2/ht7k3pd96s65een4/wish/1540984645 In Scylla and Charybdis, Odysseus uses his intuition and intelligence by deciding to "sent them on toward Scylla" so he only loses 6 men compared to going by Charybdis and possibly losing all of his men(Homer Line 783). Circe helps in this test due to the fact that she told Odysseus to go past Scylla and "[bid] against arms"(Homer Line 787).]]> 2021-05-19 18:47:10 UTC https://padlet.com/parislex000_2/ht7k3pd96s65een4/wish/1540984645 Test: Escape From Calypso parislex000_2 https://padlet.com/parislex000_2/ht7k3pd96s65een4/wish/1540985565 In Sailing from Troy, Odysseus says that he had "been detained long by Calypso, loveliest among goddesses"(Homer Lines 29-30). ]]> 2021-05-19 18:47:25 UTC https://padlet.com/parislex000_2/ht7k3pd96s65een4/wish/1540985565 Heroic Summary parislex000_2 https://padlet.com/parislex000_2/ht7k3pd96s65een4/wish/1556287906 Odysseus is an epic hero because he is the main protagonist and goes through the Hero's Journey. He shows leadership when he "[sends] them on toward Scylla" to only lose 6 men(Homer Line 783). He also shows intelligence when he tells the cyclops "my name is Nohbdy" so that the Cyclops doesn't know his name(Homer Line 315). Another example of intelligence is when he sends three men to search the island. He also tells his men not to "taste
the Lotus, or [they'll] lose [their] hope of home"(Homer Lines 104-105). Lastly, he shows bravery when he tells the suitors that they "[will] die in blood” and then kills them all with a little bit of help(Homer Line 1444).
