Antinous Persuasive Speech
I am enraged that you slaughtered me and my friends. You cannot use your rage caused by one person, Antinous, as a reason to strike hundreds of us down. Before you killed me, I was trying to tell you that the person incited this whole mess was Antinous. After you killed him, there was no need to turn your fury on the rest of us. The worst part is how you did not even intend for us to have means to fight back, your idea was to set us up so you could slaughter and torture us and we would have no means to respond or defend ourselves. In Addition, how could you have killed every single one of us if you have no firsthand account of what happened while you were away, all you knew was what Telemachus told you. You were so naive and enraged that you

    Odysseus Life Depicted In Homer's The Odyssey

    The wooers were treacherous, abusive and disrespectful to everyone in his kingdom, including Odysseus when he was disguised as a beggar. They had no right to try to take what didn’t belong to them, destroy his house and hurt his people. Odysseus violently murders all of them because he was furious at what was taking place. He showed his fury that day when he revealed his true identity and shot the second arrow through Antinous’s throat. Everyone his killed, even Amphinomus, because he ignored Odysseus’ warning to leave. If Odysseus did not kill them all there could have been an uprising.…

    Odysseus Quotes

    Rash actions, many here, more in the countryside. But here he lies, the man who caused them all. Antinous was the ringleader, he whipped us on to do these things. He cared less for a marriage than for the power Cronion has denied him as king of Ithaca. For that he tried to trap your son and would have killed him. He is dead now and has his portion. Spare your own people. As for ourselves, we’ll make restitution of wine and meat consumed, and add, each one, a tithe of twenty oxen with gifts of bronze and gold to warm your heart. Meanwhile we cannot blame you for your anger.” (Homer, line 1449, page…

    Eulogy For Telemachus

    It was at this exact spot that I stood here 20 years ago, before you, the people of the great Ithaca. Having to leave here wasn’t something I ever desired, who ever loves to leave the ones they love and they one they trust. I left for the war and I beat myself up daily, but I realized that I left to war so I must come back, I cannot die in this war and I must be able to come and fulfill my role as leader. Achilles, Ajax, Patroclus all deserve respect as well for aiding me in the war, helping make sure I could live a long life, but they deserved it more, I wish I can repay them. I am so glad to see my son, Telemachus grow into a man that I have always believed he can be, one day he will be the leader, he will be able to protect and govern Ithaca better than I ever could have.…

    Suitors In The Odyssey

    Telemachus responds back to Atinoos, but he complains and whines about how he doesn’t have power against the suitors. Telemachus tries to empathize Atinoos by telling him that “isn’t it enough that you could strip my house,” when he was young and powerless (2.229-230). What Telemachus is really tired of is that he has lost power against the suitors. He is asking for mercy, and he is now pleading to them. The tone shifts after a sentence, and Telemachus wants to, “bring back doom upon,” the suitors if he can (2.333). Telemachus shows that he is angry, but it seems pathetic because he ended with, “if I can. He is out of options, and he has nothing to do but to let out all his emotions. He ends his speech saying that it suits the men, “that I have none,” of the equipment (2.336) He ends his speech without any approval. Without any doubt, Telemachus fails to convince the…

    Rise Of Christianity Research Paper

    Do not despise God's mercy in turning away the sword of your enemies by murdering one another!" The crowd was stunned for only moment before they cried out their anger at the old man. One of the gladiators hit the old man in the stomach but before Telemachus hit the ground he yelled, "In the name of Christ stop!" The crowd started chanting: "Down with him! Run him through! Get him!' and throwing rocks at Telemachus. One of the gladiators turned on him suddenly in the frenzy and drove his sword up to its hilt into the old man's stomach. With his last breath, Telemachus cried, "In the name of Jesus, stop!" He fell on his face and did not move again. No one said a word and no one stirred. Then one man got up and left...and slowly the trickle of people leaving grew and people made their way out of the Coliseum in a painful, guilty silence" (pg.…

    Why buy an American made vehicles you ask? I’ll tell you why because buying American made vehicles creates American made jobs. Everyone knows that American made vehicle’s make a distinctive sound. Take for instance the Ford mustang and the Chevy corvette. Who doesn’t like the sound of these vehicles or design? A few things I will discuss about American made manufactures will be the quality they put forth in designing these vehicles, the job security it helps with in America and how American manufactures have now stepped up to the plate with their new innovated designs for the auto industry.…

    The Odyssey

    Telemachus calls a congregation of the Ithacan men altogether, which embraces the suitors. Lord Aigyptios (not to be muddled with Aegisthus, the man whose murder the gods were previously discussing), want to know why. After all, there haven't been any meetings since Odysseus left. Considering it's been almost twenty years, we're thinking these Ithacans aren't exactly bureaucratic go-getters. Telemachus bellyaches for a while about the suitors who have annexed his house, wolfed his food, imbibed his wine, and tried to get with his mother. Not one person has the courage to challenge his righteous anger aside from Antinoös,…

    Persuasive Speech

    PTSD or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is a psychiatric disorder that can occur following the experience or witnessing of life-threatening events such as the military combat, natural disasters, terrorism incidents, or any major tragedy. This is common in the life of veterans and is the leading cause of suicide among veterans. A VA patient who survived in Baghdad shares his experience with PTSD and explains how he knew he had this disability. Many veterans speak out about this issue and describe their continuous anger, alcohol addiction, and constantly wanted to fight. They usually feel very isolated and distant from their loved ones. One patient states, “PTSD involves rocketing into extreme states of stress re-activity; in the form of terror, rage, and uncontrollable impulses, and plunging into equally extreme states of being shut-down—exhaustion, emotional numbing, despair, and dissociation”. PTSD is about having fear and anxiety, allowing veterans to rage with anger and different emotion. There are many factors to PTSD, which affects others in different ways; or example, using video games to keep them occupied, spending money due to the lack of impulse control because of changes in their brain, and even not obtaining another job.…
