    The fictional queen of Ithaca and and a woman in 1930’s Mississippi having anything in common might seem like a stretch but in fact, they are more similar than they seem at first glance. Penelope of The Odyssey and Penny of O Brother, Where Art Thou have much in common along with characteristics that set them apart from each other. Penelope is presented as loyal, distraught. Penny is presented as unapologetic and a more independent, strong woman when being compared to Penelope. The two women are similar in that they are both cunning and cautious. Many of these changes are made in order to allow the character to blend into the time period and, in the case of Penny, to create a stronger, more realistic female character.…

    The sun rises on one side of the world, while it sets on the other.

    Eumaios is likable for many reasons. One, he is a commoner, which means that like us, he is not royalty, or powerful, rather that he looks up (or down) to royalty and those in charge. He is helpful, and nice, he praises the king and his family not knowing the king was in his presence. He also distains those who are taking his (the kings) food and property- the suiters. Another thing that we can relate to is his “un- gullableness.” He does not believe stories that he can’t imagine being true. That is something I think most people can relate to, not being the one who believes every rumor- especially one coming from a strange beggar at your house. However, while he does not fully believe Odysseus will return, he does, like most of us, have…

    Since the birth of prose, various literary techniques such as tone, imagery, similes, and foreshadowing have been used by authors to engender specific impressions upon their audience. Like an artist's pallet of paint, authors color their words with vibrancy through the use of these literary tools. In the Greek work the Iliad, Homer skillfully utilizes similes and foreshadowing in an innovative way. Rather than approaching them as separate entities, he notably combines them by foreshadowing in the form of a simile about what will come to pass. Though the fall of Troy may not be told directly in the Iliad, numerous comparisons are drawn between the element of fire and Ilion, alluding to its anticipated and foreseen demise. Through critical analysis of three specific epic similes, it is apparent that the functions which Homer's similes serve not only surpass extravagant imagery, but also heighten anticipation about an expected occurrence and expand the descriptive power of each scene in which they appear.…

Because of Odysseus’ pride he got stuck at sea for 20 years. During these 20 years that he was away Telemachus grew up day by day. He lived in the palace of Ithaca with his mother and her suitors. As he grew older he started to notice that the suitors were consuming all of his father wine and killing all his cattle. Telemachus was always scared to say anything to the suitors and this is shown when he says the following words to Athena: “Yet, were Odysseus to return, were they to see him here again, they would not only pray for gold or richer clothes-just faster feet.

    Not only was the point of view of the story teller important in reading both The Odyssey and The Penelopiad, but the perspective regarding the time period in which the stories were written also provides much insight regarding the credibility of the events. The Penelopiad portray opposing views of the events that took place between Odysseus and Penelope. The Odyssey is told from a perspective consistent with the mindsets of that time period regarding a woman’s place in society. While in The Penelopiad, the novella is told from Penelope’s point of view, and includes more modern perspective and feminist ideals regarding roles of women. Atwood takes the modern perspective head on as “The novel unravels the influence of society, including family,…

    Mycenaean civilization was a golden age of splendour that arose during1600 BC. It was during this time that Ancient Greece began to take form, in both cultural and religious aspects. Historians often refer to this period as Mycenaean, but due to the culture and values embodied in Homer’s poem, The Odyssey, it is also known as the Homeric Age. In Homer’s world, society consisted of city-states controlled by well-respected Kings. The Homeric Age also focused on the importance of religion where all regions participated in sacrificial tributes to the Gods. Unlike today’s modern society, methods of travel were very limited in the 1600s. Mycenaeans’ relied on sea travel as their main way of transportation. Due to this, journeys were much more lengthy and dangerous; therefore, travellers depended on the hospitality of others during their long nights away from home. Hospitality, otherwise known as xenia, was the stranger-host relationship between members of different regions. In Homer’s The Odyssey, the poet shows that a character’s desire to be elite in society is what drives them to be hospitable. In particular, hospitality is shown to influence one’s social life through reputation, relationships and religion.…
