Odysseus says of this matter, “’I debated within myself whether to jump overboard and drown or stay among the living and quietly endure’” (10.50-52).…

    I was happy, challenged and sad at the same time while watching the movie entitled “The Odyssey” because it shows the determination and the struggles of a person while he was not in his own place and while he was trying to go back.

It was sad that you cannot be with your loved ones for a long period of time. It was challenging to both parties how to be in touch and loyal with that miles away. But I was happy that Odysseus shows his determination to go back and to his wife and son because they kept on believing and trusting that Odysseus is alive and can go back to their home.…

    The final revelation of Oedipus Tyrannus is easily understood as a revelation of Oedipus’s actions as sins, and but such an understanding ignores the true nature of these actions and the larger choice given to Oedipus when they are revealed. The radical nature of Oedipus’s threefold deed, the killing of his father, the solving of the sphinx’s riddle, and the union with his mother, might make Oedipus a sinner, but it might also make him a god. The Thebans, however, are not prepared to take on the responsibility that follows upon man becoming god, and Oedipus, in light of this, must interpret himself as a sinner. Thus, Oedipus must banish himself not because his is a sinner, but because he chooses to understand himself as a sinner for the sake…
