Siren’s analysis

1200 BCE

I think that odysseus stupid up and did something that a true leader would do .He know about the woman of the sea who trick men into shipwrecking their boats . He told them to tie hime down and ignore anything he se say.To me this means that he is going to try and stop the women. From this I learned odysseus can really step up and be eater when his crew need him the most.

Bag of wind analysis

1200 BCE

I think that for Odysseus men to open the bag even
though Odysseus told them not to shows that they aren'tstrong willed and they don't take orders. I think thatbecause they opened the bag thinking that gold andsilver was inside in the bag, but they still went behindtheir leaders orders to do so. I learned that Odysseus isa true leader because even after his men open the bagand caused them to kind of fly away he still put his menbefore him and had a plan to get thing done for his team.

Scylla and chrybird analysis

1200 BCE

I think that odysseus had made a bad order. I think this because he told his mento avoid Charybdis which made them pass scylla which used them to die. I fell like he put his crew in danger when they avoided because it led to them dying and him being stranded on a raft .The this I learned that sometimes odysseus makes the right decision but doesn't. Not everyone is perfect.

Suitors analysis

1200 BCE

I think that nobody was able to shoot a bow and arrow like odysseus which is why Penelope announced that should marry the person who did make the shot .While odysseus had a long absence ,suitors took up the residence in Odysseus home and vied for Penelope hand in marriage because of her being attractive and possessing great wealth.Something that I learned was odysseus had killed the suitors and Athena had joined some they can end the battle

Cyclops analysis

1200 BCE

The Cyclops in Greek mythology represents both danger and the power of intelligence over brute strength. In The Odyssey, Polyphemus shows how even the strongest beings can be defeated by cleverness when Odysseus tricks him to escape. This story teaches that using your mind and staying calm in tough situations can be more powerful than just relying on strength alone.

Helois castle analysis

1200 BCE

I think that Helios was angry and wanted some kind of revenge . I say that because he sent Zeus and some other gods to punish Odysseus and his crew. I also think that odysseus was not prepared for what was going to happen because usually if you know something bad is going to happen you would try to avoidd it or fight back .I learned that you have ti be prepared all times because you never know what is going to happen
