Question

Please Help. Has anyone read or know some of Odysseus? I need easy help?

Answer 1

What's the question

Answer 2

Odysseus undergoes many trials during his voyage to get back home. We also see how his wife Penelope handles the suitors vying for her hand. Discuss one event where a character in the epic poem The Odyssey overcomes an obstacle and how they did so. This response should be 5-7 sentences long and include specific examples from the story to support your viewpoint.

Please help if you can even if you just give me something to write about

Answer 3

Well, some of the physical obstacles he encounters are:
-Polyphemus, the cyclops who ate many of his men
-The Sirens
-Calypso, on her island
-Circe, who turned some of his men into pigs
-Lotus eaters

Most importantly would be the underworld (abyss). This is his emotionally lowest point of the story. He has to face his deepest fear, death. He encounters his dead mother and such. I would suggest looking up "The Heroes Journey" as it describes the transformation of the initiative as they leave (the call), the threshold, trail of challenges, the abyss, transformation, atonement, the return. It really helps to know that. Odysseus's transformation allows him to become stronger, more aware, and a better leader. He starts to do things for the good of others, things that he wouldn't have considered before when he was like "I am Odysseus, I conquered Troy, I don't need help from Gods." These are just some of the basic things you need to know. to find your answer

Answer 4

Let me know if it helped or not so I can help you better understand it
