never cared to report, nor to return"(Homer). The Greek value upheld is courage because Odysseus took all of his men back onto the ship so they could not eat the flowers, and they set sail. ]]> 2021-05-19 16:00:04 UTC https://padlet.com/gibsosea000/x8oq4zrxtvfwjqci/wish/1540227583 gibsosea000 https://padlet.com/gibsosea000/x8oq4zrxtvfwjqci/wish/1540228294 In the Cyclops, Odysseus and his men arrive at a new land where they find the cave of Polyphemus.

The leader of Phaeacia, Alcinous, "offers a ship to Odysseus and asks him to tell of his adventures"(Homer). The second ally of Odysseus would be Telemachus, his son,  who helps him kill the suitors, "Count up the suitors for me, let me know what men at arms are there, how many men"(Homer). The third ally of Odysseus is Eumaeus, who helps him in the fight against the suitors, "Aided by Athena, Odysseus, Telemachus, Eumaeus, and other faithful herdsmen kill all the suitors"(Homer).]]> 2021-05-19 16:02:18 UTC https://padlet.com/gibsosea000/x8oq4zrxtvfwjqci/wish/1540239372 gibsosea000 https://padlet.com/gibsosea000/x8oq4zrxtvfwjqci/wish/1540240372 Odysseus' main enemy in the story would be the suitors who invaded his home and tried to steal his wife.

While Odysseus is sleeping, his men eat the cattle, violating the Greek rule of hospitality by eating the cattle, "Come, we’ll cut out the noblest of these cattle for sacrifice to the gods who own the sky"(Homer).]]> 2021-05-19 16:03:55 UTC https://padlet.com/gibsosea000/x8oq4zrxtvfwjqci/wish/1540247308 gibsosea000 https://padlet.com/gibsosea000/x8oq4zrxtvfwjqci/wish/1540249274 The Supreme Ordeal in The Odyssey is Odysseus' revenge on the suitors. Athena helps Odysseus with his revenge by making him look like a beggar man, "as for my change of skin, that is a charm Athena, Hope of Soldiers, uses as she will"(Homer). The Greek value violated is hospitality because Antinous threw a chair at Odysseus.]]> 2021-05-19 16:04:20 UTC https://padlet.com/gibsosea000/x8oq4zrxtvfwjqci/wish/1540249274 gibsosea000 https://padlet.com/gibsosea000/x8oq4zrxtvfwjqci/wish/1540249919 Odysseus' journey home starts when he goes back to the land of the Phaecians, and they help him return home to Ithaca "they conduct him home by ship"(Homer).

One of those traits was bravery and selflessness when he had his men tie him up to listen to the Sirens,  "tie me up, tight as a splint, erect along the mast, lashed to the mast"(Homer). Another time that Odysseus showed bravery is when he decided that he and his son would take on the suitors themselves, "what you speak of is a staggering thing,
beyond imagining, for me. How can two men do battle with a houseful in their prime"(Homer). A second heroic trait that was portrayed was intelligence when Odysseus told Polyphemus his name was Nohbdy. "My name is Nohbdy: mother, father, and friends, everyone calls me Nohbdy"(Homer). The last heroic trait showed was leadership when Odysseus took all of his men back onto the ship so they could not eat the lotus flowers. "I drove them, all three wailing, to the ships, tied them down under their rowing benches,
and called the rest"(Homer). ]]> 2021-05-20 22:49:10 UTC https://padlet.com/gibsosea000/x8oq4zrxtvfwjqci/wish/1545836558
