I like this painting of the Odyssey because I read all of the stories of the Odyssey in 8th grade. I really like the story of the Odyssey because it was filled with adventure and how they had to fight off a one-eyed beast, Calypso, Circe, Sirens, Scylla, Charybdis, and Poseidon. All of the monsters that I named were in the path of Odysseus to prevent them from going back to their home land. I like this painting because it has a wide variety of color to it and shows Odysseus being a brave and courageous soldier.
