The Odyssey/Travel as Teacher
[ send me this essay ]
A 4 page essay that addresses Homer's ancient Greek epic, the Odyssey, and recounts the adventures of Odysseus who spends ten years trying to reach his home after the victory of the Greeks in the Trojan War. However, this epic does not begin directly with the hero, but rather with Zeus recounting the tale of Aigisthos and Orestes. Zeus' brief reference to this tale makes Homer's point that human beings frequently bring misery upon themselves due to human failings and then blame the gods. As this suggests, the point to Odysseus' extensive travels is that he should learn the lesson of humility and avoid hubris. This is a theme that recurs frequently in Greek literature and, in this case, the teacher of Odysseus are his misfortunes en route to his wife and son in Ithaca. No additional sources cited.
