    Essay On The Character Of Odysseus In Homer's Odyssey

    Odysseus is gone from Ithaka for many years, and his hall is now teeming with suitors who wish to marry his wife, Penelope. Odysseus learns of this comes up with a clever plan with his son to reclaim his household. Odysseus and his son are outnumbered, and they know they cannot reclaim their house with just weaponry. With the help of Athena, Odysseus is disguised as a beggar. wearing “an old tunic, a foul cloak, upon him, / tattered, filthy, stained by greasy smoke, / and over that a mangy big buck skin” (XIII.543-546). This disguise greatly contrasts what is associated with great Odysseus, fooling everyone, and “the swineherd later on will take me down the port-side trail--a beggar by my looks; hangdog and old” (XVI .322-324). He infiltrates his home unnoticed, and this allows him to find out who is loyal to him through the words they speak. For example, he learns the cowman is devoted to him, saying that “tears came to my eyes, remembering / Odysseus: rags like these he may be wearing” (XX.225-226). The thought of his old king in rags, away from home causes him to tear him up, revealing that he is loyal. Odysseus also tells his son to “round up all armor, lances, gear of war / left in our hall, and stow the lot away” (XVI. 337-338) and to “put aside two broadswords and two spears / for our own use” (XVI 352-353). Odysseus is shrewd, knowing that he must hide away the weapons so the suitors cannot fight back when he strikes. Odysseus’ plan allows for him to take back what he lost, showing that Book XVI, where Odysseus introduces his plan, should be in the subsection, “Nohbdy’s…

    Quotes From 'The Epic Of Gilgamesh'

    On page 4, lines 185-186, the book states that "Gilgamesh lets no son go free to his father, by day and by night his tyranny grows." While reading this quote, I thought of Gilgamesh as a hero who had lost his way when he became corrupt with power. In the prelude, it discusses Gilgamesh being this great hero, who built most of the city of Uruk and traveled to the ends of the Earth. But at some point when he is king, he becomes the selfish and greedy tyrant that we meet on page 4. Through his relationship with Enkidu in the later parts of the tale, I believe that his restless nature is somewhat calmed, and he starts to become more of what we classically think of a hero. While reading these chapters, I saw a few parallels between Gilgamesh and…

In the Epic of Gilgamesh the main characters name was Gilgamesh, king of Uruk. Gilgamesh was two-thirds god and one-third man. Gilgamesh reined as a cruel leader that did what he pleased, but he was a prime example of how religion and political power played off one another. Since Gilgamesh was part god and part man, the people of his land feared him. Yet at the same time the people adored him and were thankful to have such a beautiful, strong, smart, and savage ruler. The people in this story worshiped a number of different gods. Which created a central theme of how the Gods were dangerous and could even be jealous or spiteful.…
