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.

The Odyssey Although Odysseus was portrayed as a hero citizen in Homer’s epic The Odyssey‚ his fatal flaw‚ hubris‚ restricts him from being a good choice for the Greeks to use as a model citizen or hero.

In Odysseus’ case‚ temptation is his greatest enemy‚ along with his burning sense of curiosity. Odysseus’ first sign of curiosity during his voyage was when he had his encounter with the Cyclops‚ Polyphemus. “My

Even considering the complicated format of the book‚ David Fincher managed to almost perfectly illustrate the novel Fight Club‚ by Chuck Palahniuk‚ in his movie of the same name.
