Odyssey Writing Assignment

A theme that i see through all of the books we read is to always stay true to your leader and when you dont bad things will be upon you, but if you stay true you will be fine. This theme apllies to all of the books but in different examples and senarairios.

Through every book the crew listens to odysseus and avoid alot of danger because of it. In book 12 odysseus tells the crew to put beeswax in thier ears so they are not tempted by the mermaids and so the ship dosent crash. They dont listen to odysseues when he says not to touch the sun gods cattle and the crew disobey him and are all killed by the sun god except odysseus."Sun god keep shiny down on the world, as for the guilty ones ill hit the racing ship with a white-hot bolt of lightning and tear them into splinters" pg 283 414-418

This theme apllies in other senerios for other books also. After Odyesseus goes missing everyone but his wife and a few friends become traitors. They give up hope that Odysseus is still alive and they take his house and wealth, and they use it and destroy it. Then Odysseus takes revenge with his son on the Suitors and other traitors by locking them in the room and killing them all. " Destruction is clear for each and every suitor; not a soul escapes his death and doom" pg 408   628-629

Whoever stayed true to Odysseus, out of the very few who did, were fine and lived to see him regain his kingdom. His wife Penelope, son Tellemicus and very few freinds stay true but everyone else is killed. They never gave up hope and beleived in Odysseus even when everyone else did not and encoureged them to give up on him too. Odysseus tests everyones loyalty by being disguised as a beggar. "Off you go to bed. Ill stay here behind and test the women, test your mother." pg 391   47-48
