The night raid on the Trojan camp involved – with Diomedes – killing more than a dozen men in their sleep and then murdering a spy after promising to spare his life. The utilization of the Trojan Horse is, in the Christian sense of the word, not a moral act. It was, however, very successful, and gave Odysseus eternal glory and ergo was righteous by ancient standards. Odysseus’ refusal of Calypso and Circe is a different story though. His total loyalty to his wife and home is admirable and…

Similar to Odysseus’ treacherous journey home, my odyssey through middle school had its moments of success and defeat, happiness and frustration, and absolute uncertainty. From being adrift on my makeshift raft in a vast sea of sixth graders to my final days in middle school, I have obtained many new traits comparable to Odysseus’. As a new sixth grader, I was optimistic and hopeful of the years to come, analogous to Odysseus’ confidence that he would ultimately return to Ithaca. Through…

How he was going to prove it: run over his newborn child. He still went…

I will appeal to the everlasting gods... ” (Homer 13). This proves how Antinoos and the suitors in general are characterized as a rude men who take advantage of the hospitality of Telemachus.…

The roots of Odysseus’s betrayal lie within his family, more specifically with his son, Telemachus. His absence through his son's adolescence causes Telemachus to grow up without a father, leaving Odysseus as an undependable figure from an early age.

Odysseus’s aspiration to go home is to rejoin his family which he has longed for twenty years. Odysseus’s feelings may be inferred at the moment he meets his son, Telemachus, as shown in the text, “Held back too long, the tears ran down his cheeks as he embraced his son...Then, throwing his arms around this marvel of a father, Telemachus began to weep. Salt tears rose from the wells of longing in both men” (The Odyssey, “The Meeting of Father and Son,” 931). Whereas the reason for Moana to make…
