Scylla and Charybdis

1.Odysseus’ family faces using all of the household wealth on food and drinking. 2. Homer asks Muse for help to tell the story. 3. It is represented by the amount of hospitality to characters. 4. Odysseus promised an alliance if he would make it back from hi journey. 5.The Lotus Eater gave Odysseus a plant and if anyone ate this plant they would lose hope on making it home. 6.The Lotus Plant reminds me of decisions made from phones as you sometimes don't think of what u say on text and it could…

leadership qualities and proves it through his journey. In one instance, Odysseus and his crew are rowing their ship in between two sea creatures, Charybdis and Scylla. Scylla is a multi-headed creature with a taste for flesh, Charybdis however is a gigantic whirlpool that will destroy any ship that crosses its path. Odysseus and his crew stay closer to Scylla to avoid losing as many men. Their plan works, but at the cost of some of their men. Discouraged and hopeless, Odysseus’s crew feels like…

complications in an effort to reach home. He had to face these problems due to his first adventure, the island of Cyclops where a cyclops prayed to Poseidon that Odysseus would not reach home. Which eventually lead to The Land of the Dead, Scylla and Charybdis, and The Cattle of Lord Helios. The challenges that Odysseus face present many lessons that he and his crew must learn from and continue on their…

power for ill. This can be shown in a prior example, where Scylla “snatched six men from our hollow ship.” She was clearly annoyed by the passing men and was simply trying to get them to leave her alone, yet she ended up being demonized. However, when Odysseus killed the majority of the suitors invading his home, it was perfectly acceptable. A double standard is revealed through this encounter. Just across the channel, there was Charybdis, “her horrible whirlpool gulping the sea-surge down,…

Some include the monsters: Charybdis and Scylla. These ferocious monsters emanate feminism. They are represented as evil, but it is not to be mistaken that they are weak. Both push Odysseus to the brink of giving up. First he loses more of his men to the jaws of Scylla, and then his remaining men and ship to the waters of Charybdis. This tragedy would have been avoided had the ignorant crew of Odysseus listened to him and not eaten…

I am going to show you how the Odyssey and the Epic of Gilgamesh similar. Both of the stories possess multiple similarities like the character's conflict, goal, consequences of their actions, and their relationship with their family and city. They share a common theme which is temptation. Odysseus never gave up on his family and land. He was just so tempted to go home and be his family so he continued to fight, but doing so will have multiple consequences. If he continued to fight to make it…

Odysseus should be considered heroic because he lied to the cyclops when he told him that Poseidon destroyed his ships, and because he went back for his men after they ate the lotus and lost their hope of home. When Odysseus realize that if he told Polyphemus the location of the ships he would want to destroy them, so, when the beast asked him for their location he answered “my ship? Poseidon lord, who sets the world a…

lesson on the sin of pride. The sin of pride leads to many of Odysseus mishaps some of these most significant and humbling misshapes where, when some of his men ran into the lotus eaters, when he encounters the Sirens,and his encounter with Scylla and Charybdis. The first example of Odysseus being taught to be humble is with the lotus eaters. In the book on the lotus eaters Odysseus sends two men to check out…

Women in Greek literature tend to fall into two categories: sweet, gentle, passive beauties or dangerous, intelligent, powerful sorceresses. They are either the trophy or the villain -- at the very best, a female character may be a goddess, her powers being controlled by Zeus himself. Forget being the hero or ruler of a kingdom; a woman was to be either an obedient wife or a slightly-psychotic witch. With all these horrible labels women carried during this time, it’s ironic how Odysseus,…

the setting the Sea of Monsters is a place where you don't want go, it's where all the terrible monsters live. I think this because in the book there is two monsters named Scylla and Charybdis, Scylla is a monster who has six heads and if you go near her she will take six of your best means to eat one for every throat. Charybdis is a monster who make a whirlpool and sucks you in the whirlpool and then spits you back out again. This terrible sea it shapes the characters by making them alarm to…
