    Noah Sola English I Mrs. Johnson 4/22/2014 The Odyssey Book 1 The poet invokes the Muse to help him tell the story of Odysseus. How original. I learn that Poseidon‚ god of the sea‚ begrudges (though I don’t know exactly why) against Odysseus and is making the guy’s expedition home pretty difficult. This tells me two very important things: (1) Greek gods are temperamental‚ and (2) Poseidon is a powerful guy. So Poseidon isn’t around on Mount Olympus (presumably because he’s full of activity

    I believe that the main human conflict of the Odyssey is perseverance. Throughout the novel it shows Odysseus’s multiyear journey back home from the Trojan War with his comrades even after most of them die on the journey. 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

Instead‚ he endures it until the traps he has set and
