The Odyssey Depictions by Symphony Arnold 4th hour Intro to Research
Dearest Priam, We are coming now. Prepare Hector for his death, for he had killed my apprentice. When I arrive, we shall do battle. He will fall, I shall rise. Then the Greeks will attack, and without your best fighter, the Trojans will fall. Prepare to fall in the hands of your demise. Sincerely, Achilles Troy
“If you’re going to meet a witch, be sure to have a cure.” –Odysseus “If your shipmate was a pig, would you eat him?” –Odysseus “When you’re alone on an island, you’ll need some animals for company.” –Circe Circe’s Island/Aeaea
World of the Dead If you have ever lost someone They’re probably tortured souls Wandering in Hades, The world of the dead. People tend to look to the sky for help Try looking down With a sacrifice and patience Help will arrive, now listen close. Now listen to what they have to say For there’s a reason they’re there. Now if you don’t listen You’ll stay for an eternity. Zeus will strike you down Sell you out to the Lord of the Underworld So you best listen To the souls trapped in the World of the Dead. Hades
Cover sailors’ ears with beeswax. • Have them tie you up to the mast of the ship. • Pass by the sirens and listen. • Strain against the ropes because you want to hear the singing. • Cry because the music is gone Sirens
Many years ago, there was a king named Odysseus. The smartest man in all of the land. He was called upon to fight a massive war against the Trojans. 10 long years of war, and he was finally heading home. Many days passed, many years few by. Many islands were found, including the God of Wind, Aeolus, who gave them a bag of wind to take them home. But the sailors opened it against Odysseus’s words. Many more days and years and islands. After passing Scylla and Charybdis, they landed on an island with many cattle. Helios’s legendary cattle, which they were not supposed to touch. While Odysseus was away, the men cooked up some of the cattle. Helios and Zeus were enraged, and Zeus brought the cattle to life, and scared the men to the ship. There, Zeus struck them down with a lightning bolt. Odysseus was the only survivor. Many more years and days on the never-ending journey on the ocean… Helios’s Island, Zombie Cows
Dear Diary, I worry so dearly about my husband. 10 years ago he left to fight the Trojans, and he hasn’t returned yet. I believe he is still alive and working to come home to Ithaca and I, but I’m losing some hope. There are so many suitors trying to take his kingdom and get with me, but I’ve been stalling in case his return, but I can’t hold them off for long. Oh Odysseus, be safe. God of Lightning and Life, God of Seas, please keep him safe during is return. Sincerely, Penelope Ithaca
