Brief Summary Of Homer's Odyssey
Brief Summary: The suitors are talking about Telemachus’s murder at dinner when they receive a bad omen. Even though they notice the omen of the eagle carrying a dove in its talons saying that their plan won’t work, the suitors are still taunting Odysseus because of Athena purposely making them so Odysseus anger is still sharp. This extension happens after the arrogant and wealthy suitor Ctesippus throws a cow’s hoof at Odysseus and Telemachus tells him off for it and for speaking of Penelope playing wife by force. Then after Athena setting off a lot of laughter among the suitors
Extension:
Oh, how Athena, queen of tactics, devised a death for the swaggering suitors.
Hotheaded Odysseus seated inside the hall, placed on the unsound stool, glared with steely eyes at the brazen suitors. Wine filled, golden cup in his calloused hands trembled from his restraint.

Fire that strips the wood of the little moisture, burning it 5 to the ashes, raging on more from the air around it, unable to be controlled when used little effort. Such anger coursed through the godlike Odysseus.
Placing down the golden cup, almost empty from the wine spilled in his anger, Odysseus leaned against the confined table. His feet spread in a defensive stance under it and calloused hands tightened into fists, pushed back his urge to take action and behead the suitors dining in his halls.
Bright-eyed Athena kept the king’s anger sharp as a blade used in war.
A blade perfected for killing those who opposed the man whose hand it is held in. A

    The tone in the epic poem is bright in the beginning when Homer writes “Helios’ burning rays” and “the sun at high noon.” As the poem progresses, it takes on an ominous tone that shows Odysseus’ self-control as he “stop[s] the ears of [his] comrades one by one” with beeswax. He also has his men “[bind him] hand and foot in the tight ship…lashed by ropes to the mast.” These two examples show Odysseus fighting against his desire to listen to the Siren’s…

    With all the calamities Odysseus had to face, the last thing he wanted to do was kill off dozens of suitors. Being the proud and cunning person Odysseus is he killed off the suitors to be with his wife, Penelope, and son, Telemachus. This event really portrayed Odysseus’ devotion to family and his devotion to his kingdom. It also displayed that through all the misfortune Odysseus went through, was still physically and emotionally strong enough to fight off the dozens of suitors that invaded his home and tried to marry his wife. A similar event happened to Ulysses Everett. Everett and his companions observed a lynch mob ceremony and they noticed that their other companion, Tommy, was going to get executed because of the lynch mob’s cruel and racist practices. By using his wits and physical strength, Everett ran into the mob and interrupted their ritual. Everett knew he had to avenge his friend, just as Odysseus avenged Penelope and…

    I think that if Telemachus was a good leader and took care of the suitors, Odysseus wouldn’t make his dining hall into a bloodbath. But because he didn’t take care of the suitor problem, Penelope was bribed by suitors to marry them. And maids of Odysseus slept with other suitors. The suitors who died from Odysseus deserved to die from Odysseus because not only did they try to marry Penelope they also planned to kill Odysseus and Telemachus as well. And for the maids, they also deserved to die because they were not loyal to not only penelope but Odysseus as well, because they were with the idea of suitors killing odysseus.…

    I think that Odysseus was justified in his actions towards the suitors. Think about it, if you were in his situation, you would be pretty upset too. Also, keep in mind that the punishments in that “time” are very different compared to now. And this is greek mythology. Therefore none of it is even real. The suitors tried…

    One observation that is glaringly obvious is the abrupt and irregular placing of Odysseus’s interruption to his narrative. He didn’t resolve what he was talking about, find a lull, or otherwise find a good place to pause. The reason he did this is likely similar to the use of cliffhangers in other forms of storytelling; he deliberately left the audience wanting more, and he wanted something from the audience in return. Another observation that can be made is how enthralled the audience was in his tale, so much so that there was complete silence as he finished speaking. This was advantageous to Odysseus, as he needed to appeal to his audience in order to be able to obtain something from them. It is also apparent that Queen Arete in particular is captivated by Odysseus’s tale. She tells her subjects not to urge him away so quickly, which is her way of indirectly asking him to stay and finish his story. The captivation demonstrated by both the queen and her subjects suggests the idea that Odysseus is no longer playing the role of a traveler recounting his woes, but rather of a storyteller that is reciting an epic piece of fiction. It is then the king’s turn to speak, and he suggests that Odysseus must remain in Scheria until the next day so that proper preparations for his departure may be made, as his passage home is now top priority for he and his subjects. This is the prize that Odysseus has earned through his storytelling, and the one that he was likely seeking under the circumstances. Odysseus than expresses appreciation for this reward, stating that he would do much if only he may earn safe passage home. This all but confirms the idea that this is the recompense he was speaking. It is also of note that he included the detail that he would be sent safely and loaded with the Phaeacian’s splendid gifts. Now that he had the king captivated by…

    In addition, Odysseus slays the dozens of suitors plaguing the halls of his palace. After returning to his palace in Ithaca, he commences a bloodbath. He begins by shooting the villainous Antinous through his neck. The text describes that “The point passed clean through his tender throat...His life-blood gushed from his nostrils in a turbid jet.” (Homer, 329) Odysseus begins to take back his right as the master of the palace. The lifeless state of Antinous stresses his looming wrath. In spite of the suitors’ attempts to bargain their wealth for being spared, Odysseus asserts the punishment which they deserve for their crimes. He says “...not if you made over all your patrimony to me...would I keep my hands from killing until you Suitors had…

    Odysseus as an Epic Hero

    • 751 Words
    • 4 Pages

    First, nearing the end of the Epic, Odysseus continues to use his intelligence to overcome obstacles and hardships. Upon one attempt to return home, Odysseus must pass the island of the Sirens. He has his men plug their ears with beeswax but not before he tells them his place in the plan: “Take me and bind me to the crosspiece half way up the mast; bind me as I stand upright, with a bond so fast that I cannot possibly break away, and lash the rope's ends to the mast itself. If I beg and pray you to set me free, then bind me more tightly still.” Even though Odysseus gives into the weakness of the sirens’ song, he is unable to escape from the bonds of the rope and his previous intelligence saves him. Once he arrives in Ithaca, Odysseus once again uses his intelligence to overcome his suitors and reclaim his estate. When he first encounters the people of his land, he wisely chooses to remain anonymous, avoiding an unplanned struggle or fight. Odysseus then reveals himself to his son and few servants to plan an attack on the suitors. At a contest to see if anyone can string Odysseus’s bow, the hero plans his attack after stringing the bow and firing on the suitors. His son and servants have the other arms and they massacre the entire group of suitors. This was one of Odysseus’s final acts of brilliance to conclude the epic.…

    Slaughter In The Odyssey

    • 524 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Homer approves of Odysseus’ revenge on the suitors because Odysseus protects his wife and home from those who betrayed him. Although subtly hinted, Homer justifies Odysseus’ rage as Athena is sent in the form of Mentor to keep Odysseus on his path of rage, reminding him of his battle with the Trojans and his combat strength, which allowed him to proceed with his slaughter (Od. 22.214-215). Although necessary for Athena to appear to build the confidence of the suitors to attack Telemachus and Odysseus, the goddess’ rage against Odysseus as he asks her to help bear arms (22.246) seems as if Homer is trying to communicate to us that he agrees with Odysseus’ cause. In the manner of how Athena speaks to Odysseus in Homer’s writing, it is apparent that she is dissatisfied with Odysseus’ request as she states that although he has finally returned home, he doesn’t have the spirit to destroy the suitors on his own (22.233-246).…

    When Odysseus arrived back in Ithaca, he went to Eumaeus’s hut. “Odysseus turned his back on the harbor and followed a rough track leading through the woods and up to the hills towards the place where Athena had told him he would meet the worthy swineherd, who of all the servants Odysseus had acquired had shown himself to be the most faithful steward of his property” (The Odyssey). After reaching the hut, guard dogs came after Odysseus, but Eumaeus’s stopped them, and let Odysseus in his hut. “The good swineherd let the way to his hut, ushered Odysseus in and invited him to sit down on some brushwood that he piled up for him and covered with the shaggy skin of a wild goat, large and thick, which served as his own mattress” (The Odyssey). One can see that Eumaeus is a true servant to his guest. After letting Odysseus in, the swineherd went out and prepared an abundant meal for Odysseus. “He selected two, carried them in, and slaughtered them both…When he had roasted it all, he served it up piping hot on the spits, set it in front of Odysseus, and sprinkled it with white barely-meal…he took a seat facing his guest, and encouraged him to eat” (The Odyssey). Through Eumaeus, Homer gave a great example about how one should treat their neighbor with kindness. Once Odysseus had finished telling Eumaeus his story, Eumaeus made a bed for Odysseus so he could sleep in the hut with him. “The swineherd jumped up, placed a bed for him by the fire…

    However, he displays vices that could lead to his death. He tends to be very prideful and arrogant. Odysseus' intelligence and confidence has made him unable to back down from battles .This can lead to more harm than good. Laodamas asks Odysseus if he wants to compete in sports with them, and Odysseus declines the invitation. Seareach then publicly questions Odysseus' skills, and his manhood, by saying, "[you] have no skill in any of the contests of fighting men” (page 129). Seareach's words highly insulted Odysseus' pride. This leads him to take the men up on their challenge. He retaliates by throwing a discus further than any Phaeacian could throw. Later in the book, when Odysseus identifies himself to the Phaeacians, he says, "Men hold me formidable for guile in peace and war: this fame has gone abroad to the sky's rim” (page 145). These actions that Odysseus displays shows that even though he is confident, he can be insecure of his manhood. When his manhood seems threatened, he will defend…
