The Odyssey was written by Homer around 1200 B.C, meaning to be a sequel to The Illiad. Homer wrote the very first written literature in Western Europe. Homer was an apotheosis very much like Odysseus. Odysseus was revered as a hero with the Greek Gods presence around. In the first part of the story Athena sends Hermes to get Odysseus. Athena then finds Odysseus’ son Telemachus and tells him to wait and ask around for his dad. As it would go Telemachus sets out on a boat with Athena’s presence

boy despite being forced to assume the role of the father. Antinous and the suitors not pleased about Telemachus’ dictation on how they should behave replies that Penelope is to blame for the behaviour of the suitors. He tries to justify the suitor’s behaviour by saying that Penelope tricked, blinded, and seduced the men. However, Penelope exhibits wit in cunning the suitors to postpone choosing a husband. Still, her behaviour according to Telemachus was not dishonorable compared to the suitor’s rude

This is because they all believe he is dead since everyone else has returned from the war.

Homer’s “Odyssey” takes us on an adventure where our main character, Odysseus, has to defeat all odds at an extreme voyage home, to his wife Penelope and son Telemachus, from The Trojan War.

I believe that Odysseus should not marry Nausikaa. This is my belief for three reasons. My reasons are: Differences between Odysseus and Nausikaa, Odysseus’ relation to Penelope, Telemachus, and Ithaka, and Penelope and Telemachus wanting/waiting for Odysseus’ return.

Odysseus, the lone survivor of his crew, returned home to Ithaca after twenty years, only to see that is home is filled with suitors.

She tells him she will not forget him. Once he arrives in Iolcus, he confronts his uncle. Pelias tells Jason that he must sail to the distant

characters, Penelope is my favorite. She is my favorite because she held her ground while Odysseus was gone. She made it clear that she was not ready to move on. Penelope was faithful to her husband while he was at war, even when faced with the temptation of her many suitors. She used her intelligence to trick the suitors. All women should be faithful and strong-willed like Penelope. When Odysseus is at war, Penelope remains faithful to him. He is fighting for ten years, but Penelope never gives
