Although it is clear women in Homer’s The Odyssey are hierarchically lower than men‚ and have to follow societal norms and the orders of men‚ women also have the power to disrupt and distract Odysseus’ journey home. Men have clear dominance over the lives of women throughout The Odyssey and make choices for them in instances even when they are completely capable.
