was part of the reason for his 7 year stop at Calypso’s island. Finally, she does let him go, and he later finds himself telling Nausicaa's father his journey , so far where he mentions Calypso, claiming,”... to be her heart’s delight as Circe of Aeaea, the enchantress , desired me, and detained me in her hall. But in my heart, I never gave consent.” (Homer 9) Again, this shows his true character because he never owns up, making himself look smooth, and because of his irresponsible personality, Penelope

Book 10 The cyclops and their wrath turned out to be a bigger problem for Odysseus and his men than they thought, as Poseidon, the God of the seas was their father. Luckily, the managed to get out of there safely at the end of book nine. Now, a new adventure awaited the home-sick shipmates. First, they landed on the island of Aeolus, where they stayed for a month. They had no way to get home after this, but this was quickly solved because at the end, Aeolus extended his hospitality and gave Odysseus

character is often nuanced and contradictory in his representation of these characteristics. This can be seen in many of his adventures, but especially in his encounter with the Cicones, his brush with the Cyclops Polyphemus, and his experiences on Aeaea, the island of Circe. When Odysseus arrived at the land of the Cicones, he “…pillaged the town and killed the men. / The women and treasure that we took out / I divided as fairly as I could among all hands…” (Odyssey 9.43-45). While an outside audience

saved Odysseus and was the main reason why Odysseus was able to carry out his plan. While it is true that the men in the story also played a vital role in Odysseus's journey. As the god Hermes had aided Odysseus when he had landed on the island of Aeaea, as he had given him “a powerful herb I will give you will prevent it”(X 301).

The book and the movie of the odyssey are very different. Just a warning but there will be spoilers in here. The movie was three hours long and it still left a lot of important parts out. The book has a lot more than the movie because the movie would be way too long. One thing they left out is the sirens. Some differences were Scylla and Charybdis and some similarities were the Cyclops and Circe’s island. At the island of the Cyclops or Polyphemus, they landed and had not yet seen the giant one

The word odyssey, meaning a long journey with adventures and events, goes back all the way to ancient Greece. In Greece there was a man named Homer, who ended up writing one of the greatest epics ever written. To this day, the Odyssey is not an ancient history, but yet a different meaning of past life on earth. Dating back to the 1600’s lays the key point to getting Homer's character development revolutionized and totally mixing up the character plot in the story. So in the series of books, The Odyssey

warped the time around him, and poor Odysseus had no idea what years he had lost. Later, when he met Calypso, and she did the same. “... I have been detained long by Calypso … who held me in her smooth caves, to be her heart’s delight, as Circe of Aeaea … desired me.” Page 1047, Lines 29-32, The Odyssey.

She persuades Odysseus to stay with her for many seasons, and then sends him to the Land of the Dead to seek the wisdom of the blind prophet Tiresias.      Tiresias
