    I believe that the main human conflict of the Odyssey is perseverance.

The modern work that I will be comparing the Odyssey to is O Brother‚ Where Art Thou. Both of the works are about the perseverance of a group of men that are encountered by numerous people that get in the way or attempt to stop them from accomplishing their mission. The similarities

    Women in The Odyssey After following an epic that revolved so completely around men‚ The Odyssey has quite a lot of female roles.

The two women who really stand out the most to me are Calypso and Circe: both powerful beings and powerful women. They
