I recognized the impact of “Segregationist Racism” where numbers create a falsified sense of distance while encouraging creating racial space to exist (Zambudio & Rios‚ 2006‚ p. 493).

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.

Women in The Odyssey After following an epic that revolved so completely around men‚ The Odyssey has quite a lot of female roles. True‚ the ancient Greeks had a better androgynous balance than other civilizations‚ and this is reflected very clearly in The Odyssey. Femininity has not only a bigger role in this epic‚ but it seems as though it is honored with its own unique power. This is shown in characters like Circe and Athena‚ but also subtextually in the many female weavers throughout the

The Women of the Odyssey Many people regard Homer’s epics as war storiesstories about men; those people often overlook the important roles that women play in the Odyssey. While there are not many female characters in the Odyssey‚ the few that there are‚ play pivotal roles in the story and one can gain a lot of insight by analyzing how those women are portrayed. Homer portrays the females in contradictory ways: the characters of Athena and Eurykleia are given strong‚ admirable roles while Melantho
