My first point of comparison is how patriotic they both are. I base this similarity on

great hero called Odysseus. Odysseus is a great hero in fact he is so great that there are two books. In addition‚ I think he should get an award for being such a good hero. He is confident‚ he inspires people‚ and he is creative. Being confident is a great part of being a leader. Moreover‚ Odysseus shines in that aspect. On page 383 lines‚ 390-394 it says “o cyclops! Would you feast on my companions? Puny‚ am I‚ in a caveman’s hands…” (Homer). The book is showing us that Odysseus is confident in

Sounds like the movie Wrong Turn? No it’s Homer’s story of Odysseus. The character Odysseus has many strengths‚weaknesses‚and conflicts. The character Odysseus demonstrates immense strengths such as courage and trust. First‚ he lets his crew members tie him up without having wax in his ears. In Homer’s text he states “bind me still the more.” That he’s brave enough to allow himself to be tied up shows his courage. Next‚ Odysseus allows his crew to tie him up and believes they will untie him

What does it mean to have a virtuous life? Most of Odysseus’ life was not virtuous. To live a virtuous life you must be in a place you are happy in‚ with people you love and you can’t be being faced with constant challenges. A virtuous life means being in a comfortable place. “Nine whole days we sailed‚ nine nights nonstop (231; 33).” This shows Odysseus was not where he wanted to be. He would not waste that amount of time and energy sailing unless he knew he would be happier somewhere else. “Circe

from antiquity‚ Jason and Odysseus have much in common and just as much not. It has been said that The Voyage of the Argo‚ written centuries past The Odyssey‚ is an imitation or some form of plagiarism of the primary epic poem of ancient Greece. I like the other train of thought; it is more an acknowledgement or tip of the hat‚ so to speak‚ specifically to The Odyssey. Both tales center on a hero and a fantastic voyage. Jason was less the virtuous demi-God we see in Odysseus. At first glance‚ he appeared
