    “Men go to far greater lengths to avoid what they fear than to obtain what they desire.” ~ Dan Brown, The Da Vinci Code In The Odyssey, Homer utilizes characterization to validate that fear is often the root of temptation. For example he states, “I will not share your bed unless you swear the mighty oath, o goddess – to insure that you’ll forgo any thoughts of further plots.” (Homer 10.342-344) Odysseus is normally a good man but, like many men, he fears the Gods. He gives into Círcë’s charms like Hermes said he should in fear of being struck down by Athena, or being captured by Circe and having to go without Athena…

    Noticing they had been gone for some time, Odysseus heads out to search for them. Shockingly, he found all of the men with effects of the Lotus flower modifying their minds, making getting home seem like a distant memory.

Another example was on Erice, the land of the “Cyclops” when Odysseus’ physical strength protects him and his men from danger. While trapped in Polyphemus’ (the cyclop son of Poseidon) cave with twelve of his best men, they contrive a plan to…

    While Odysseus tries to save his men and defeat the Cyclops to escape the island, he demonstrates hyperephania (pride), philargyria (greed), and kenodoxia (boasting). The first evil thought, pride, is the expectation that esteem or adulation will be received without being earned. This expectation makes people arrogant, and therefore isolated from the rest of humanity; this isolation makes people less…

    Odysseus says, “’I wanted to see [the Cyclops] and claim the stranger’s gift… So we lit a fire and made our thank-offering, and helped ourselves to as many cheeses as we wanted to eat; then we sat inside till he should come back with his flocks’” (111). Odysseus is impulsive and does not think before he acts. He is very selfish and only wants to see what glory the Cyclops gives him. He expects everyone to bow down to him, let alone know who he is, contrasting Odysseus when he fights the suitors at the end of the story and receives glory from his city. When Polyphemus, the Cyclops who happens to be Poseidon’s son, returns home, he traps Odysseus and his crew in his cave.…

    Similarly to the Cyclops’ terrifying appearance and actions, after Odysseus slaughters the suitors, the old Nurse literally describes Odysseus as “terrifying” (22: 422). Now, all these similarities make Odysseus and Polyphemos sound almost identical to each other but, Odysseus is even more of a monster than Polyphemos. A common theme in The Odyssey, is nostos, “returning home,” and oikos, “home.” The majority of the epic poem is driven by Odysseus’ lack of understanding that he needs to just go home. While traveling around and destroying the homes of others, Odysseus almost loses his own.…
