Topic:  Iliad and Odyssey by Homer
1.  Read the Iliad and Odyssey, and note down the most significant events that took
place.
ILIAD OF HOMER
·       Eris (goddess of discord) crashed the wedding of Thetis and Peleus
Eris (goddess of discord) crashed the wedding of Thetis and Peleus because she wasn't
invited. She rolled a golden apple inscribed with something like "to the most beautiful
goddess." into the crowd of gods and goddesses. Athena, Hera, and Aphrodite wanted
the apple. They asked Zeus to decide who could have the apple, therefore being the
most beautiful. But Zeus refuse and suggest a mortal to choose so it was Paris, a
Prince of Troy, was chosen.
·       Prince Paris chose Goddess Aphrodite
Hera offered him political power, Athena offered him military glory and wisdom, and
Aphrodite offered him the hand of the most beautiful woman. Being a guy, Paris chose
Aphrodite's deal and gave her the apple. And this was happen to be Helen, Queen of
Sparta, and in Greek legend, the most beautiful woman. Athena and Hera got angry to
Prince Paris for not choosing them.
·       Paris, Prince of Troy Abducted Queen Helen which become the reason
behind the war between Trojans and the Greeks.
When the Prince of Troy, Paris, had convinced Queen Helen, wife of the Greek king
Menelaus, to flee with him to Troy, the King Menelaus knew this so he asked the help of
his brother Agamemnon and decided to get his wife out of Troy but Paris declined, and
so the war started between the Trojans and the Greeks. For ten years, innumerable
Greeks and Trojan soldiers fought the battle every day.
·       Odysseus clever trick by making a huge wooden horse.     
However, in the tenth year, the city of Troy was captured by the Greeks, not by war, but
by a clever trick. Odysseus, King of Ithaca, created a plan to take over troy by making a
great wooden horse, which could fit in many Greek soldiers. When the Trojans saw this
huge wooden horse, one Greek warrior who left in the island said that it was a peace
offering to Trojans. The Trojans planned to break a part of the city wall down and pull
the horse inside as a symbol of their victory. Despite the warning of their priest, they
dragged the horse inside the city.
·       The tragic end of the great city of Troy.
          That night they rejoiced in their victory and almost everybody got drunk. In the
middle of the night, the Greeks who had sailed to a nearby island, came back. The
Greek soldiers who was left behind gave a signal and wooden horse were opened from
the side. They opened the city Gates, and the entire Greek army entered the city of Troy
in the silence of the night. What followed afterwards was terror and cruelty beyond
imagination. Towards the end of the story, King Priam and Prince Paris were also killed.
Helen was returned back to king Menelaus. This marked the tragic end of the great City
of Troy.
ODYSSEY OF HOMER
·       Suitors
With Odysseus away, the men are chasing Penelope. ,  in Ithaca a group of persistent
suitors has gathered in his state and in the hope of  taking over the kingdom, are

Penelope that his father was still alive and to help him on his voyage to Pylos and
Sparta.

 Odysseus survives the storm and ends up as Calypso's sex slave for 7 years. He
escapes and is shipwrecked with the Phalakians. Odysseus, weakens on the remote
island of Ogygia because the Goddess Calypso has fallen in love with him and refuses
to let him go home. build a new ship and allows him to take enough sustenance from
her island
·       Encounters with Poseidon
After eighteen days at sea, Poseidon spots Odysseus’s ship and realizes that the other
gods have set him free. Poseidon, who is vengeful towards Odysseus over him blinding
his son, creates a storm and almost drowns Odysseus.
·       Encounter with Phaecian Princess,  Nausicaa,
At night, Athena appears to the Phaecian Princess,  Nausicaa, in a dream and tells her
to go to the  river the next day and wash her clothes and  body to look more attractive to
her suitors. In the morning as Nausicaa and her handmaidens  wait for their clothes to
dry, Odysseus walks in on them and without revealing his identity  asks for their
assistance. Next, the princess who does not want to walk into the city with  a stranger
gives Odysseus the address to the palace and tells him the right way to approach her 
mother, the queen of Phaecians to win her support.
·       The Feast in the country of phaecians
On his way to the city, Athena disguised as a  maiden appears to Odysseus and covers
him in a cloak of mist to protect him from the PhaeaciansThe next day, and after
approving Odysseus’s  request for a ship, the king throws another feast in the midst of
which a bard sings of the  Trojan horse. The song brings back many painful memories
for Odysseus and upsets him. Surprised  by Odysseus’s sensitivity about the Trojan
war, the king asks him to reveal who he really is?  Odysseus starts his story from the
time that he left Troy and his arrival in Ismarus after  braving a storm. He tells the king
about how his companions were taken over by greed and sacked  Ismarus and the
people of the neighboring region, the Cicones
·       Encounter with Cicones
 While sacking the city Odysseus spared  the life of a priest of Apollo named
Maron  who in return gave him a goatskin bottle of  black wine which was a divine drink
twenty  times stronger than the regular wine. A few hours later the Cicones returned
with more men and after a bloody ordeal, Odysseus and  a few of his men escaped to
their ships.Next, Zeus sent a storm that battered the Greek  fleet for nine days.
·       Lotus Eaters
 Odysseus' men get drugged up by eating lotus flowers. When Zeus sent a storm that
battered the Greek  fleet for nine days the waves pushed Odysseus and his men to the
island of Lotus-eaters  where its strange inhabitants gave the Greeks the  forget about
their journey home and want nothing  more than to live on the island
forever.  Eventually, Odysseus forcefully dragged his men  back to their ships and tied
them up to the ores.Odysseus continues his story by telling the king  that they sailed
through the night and arrived  at the Island of Cyclops
·       Cyclops
Odysseus blinds Polyphemos the Cyclops, son of Poseidon. When they got back on
their ship, Odysseus, not knowing that cyclops Polyphemus  was a son of Poseidon,
called to him, revealing his real name and boasting that he, Odysseus, was  the one
who outsmarted him. Furious and defeated, the cyclops prayed to his father Poseidon 
and asked for vengeance on Odysseu

·       Aeolus
Next Odysseus and his compatriots  arrived at the floating island of Aeolia,  home to the
King of winds, Aeolus.  Aeolus happily received Odysseus  and provided him with a bag
containing all of  the winds. At  this moment, believing that the hardship of the journey is
behind them and thinking that Aeolus must have given Odysseus a bag full of
gold,hisfellow Achaeans took the bag from him and cut  it open.The winds escaped and
created a storm  that pushed the ship away from Ithaca and all the  way back towards
Aeolia. When Aeolus saw Odysseus, he refused to help him again and told him he was 
sure that the gods were not happy with him and  he did not want to interfere with their
will. Lacking agreeable wind to sail home, the Greeks rowed tirelessly to the Island of 
Laestrygonians where a breed of powerful giants lived under the rule of their  king,
Antiphates. Upon seeing the visitors,  the giants pelted their ships with big rocks and 
sank all of them except for Odysseus’s own ship.Broken and depleted,
·       CIRCI
Odysseus traveled to  Aeaea, where a powerful enchantress named Circe  drugged
some of his men and turned them into pigs.  Odysseus tells the Phaeacians king that
when he was about to attack the enchantress and rescue his  men, Hermes appeared
and instructed him to eat an herb called moly to protect himself from Circe’s 
enchantment. Impressed by Odysseus’s bravery and cunning, Circe changed his men
back to humans  and became his lover.
Eventually, his compatriots got worried that  Odysseus might be forgetting about
Ithaca  and persuaded him to leave Circe. When Odysseus  asked Circe to show him
the way to Ithaca,  she replied that he must speak with spirits  from the underworld and
meet with Tiresias,  the legendary Greek prophet, to learn how to get  home…

·       Underworld
Odysseus goes to the Underworld for directions home and meets his dead friends,
mother and the heroes like Archilles,Ajax and also Agamemnon. Then the spirit of the
Theban prophet, Tirisies,  appeared and told the Greek hero that Poseidon
was  punishing him for blinding his Cyclops son. He  then hinted at Odysseus’s future
and said that  he will one day return home and after that,  he will make a trip to a distant
land to make  peace with Poseidon. Then he warned Odysseus to  not harm the flock of
Helios if throughout his  journey he encountered them, or his return home  will be
delayed and he will face many hardships
·       SIRENS
As Odysseus’s ship got near the island of Sirens,  he followed Circe’s advice and
melted a wheel of hard wax to cover his men’s ears. He then told  his crew to tie him to
the mast of the ship so he could listen to the song of the Sirens without  falling into the
water. As they passed through the island, Siren's beautiful song called Odysseus  by his
name and invited him to join them on their  island, promising to reveal his future to him. 
Mesmerized by their song, Odysseus made signs with  his face and frowned at his men
to let him loose  but they refused and tied him up even faster.
·       Skylla & Charybdis
More crewmembers are killed by the monsters, Skylla and Charybdis. After passing
through the Siren’s Island,  the Greeks arrived at a dangerous strait  where they had to
navigate two massive rocks to  escape facing Scylla, a famous six-headed monster, and
at the same time avoid getting  sucked into the whirlpool of Charybdis.   
·       Helios
 The crew eats the cattle of Helios and is punished with a storm that kills them all. When
Helios, the sun god, found out about his beloved flock, he threatened Zeus that if he  did
not take revenge for him,   he would leave mount Olympus and earth and will  take his
light and instead shine in Hades upon  the dead.Zeus promised Helios that he would 
destroy the Greeks the moment they set sail, he sent a storm that destroyed the mast
of  their ship and struck them with lightning bolts that killed every single one of
Odysseus’s men.  Odysseus himself, however, managed to hang on to the ship and
save himself by making a smaller  boat from the broken mast and sailing away. 
The winds pushed Odysseus all the way back to  the dangerous strait of Scylla and
Charybdis.. He then rowed with his hands and went for nine days until he reached the
Island of  Ogygia home to the powerful goddess Calypso
·       Disguise Back home
 Odysseus disguises himself as a beggar to see whose still on his side. When
Odysseus wakes up, he does not recognize  his country, and believing that the
Phaeacians  must have betrayed him he starts wandering  around and cursing them
When Odysseus and Telemachus are alone in the hut, Athena makes the old man’s
disguise go away  and the prince, who can not believe his eyes,  reunites with his
father.
Defeated the suitors
Only Odysseus can pull off the feat. Bow in hand, he shoots and kills the suitor Antinous
and reveals his identity. With Telemachus, Eumaeus, and his goatherd Philoitios at his
side, Odysseus leads the massacre of the suitors, aided only at the end by Athena.
Odysseus lovingly reunites with Penelope, his knowledge of their bed that he built the
proof that overcomes her skepticism that he is an impostor. Outside of town, Odysseus
visits his ailing father, Laertes, but an army of the suitors' relatives quickly finds them.
With the encouragement of a disguised Athena, Laertes strikes down the ringleader,
Antinous' father. Before the battle can progress any further, Athena, on command from
Zeus, orders peace between the two sides.
2.  How is the Iliad related to the Odyssey?
- "The Iliad" and "The Odyssey" are epic poems written by the Greek poet Homer
around the 7th or 8th century B.C. And based on my research, they are considered two
of the most influential early works in Western literature. And if we are going to study or
read the summary of this two story we will find out that the story are interconnected and
have strong similarities, even though the message and perspectives in each are
different. Homer wrote "The Iliad" first, so "The Odyssey" is a sequel with its own plot
and character development.
Epic Poem Style
"The Iliad” is related to "odyssey" in its overall construction. I’ve noticed that Homer
wrote both poems in the same narrative format from the third person point of view. The
stories focus on heroic deeds, human weaknesses and the connection between
humans and supernatural forces, such as Greek gods. As we all know, the central
characters in each story beat overwhelming odds and face difficult challenges to
complete their epic journeys. And based on my observation, the main characters learn
important life lessons along the way.
Character Types
Both stories focus on a single masculine protagonist. The central character in "The Iliad"
is Achilleus, a demigod who is also a skilled warrior. Odysseus is the main protagonist
in "The Odyssey" -- a dedicated, hardworking man who leads his crew with integrity and
loyalty. Achilleus is already dead in "The Odyssey," but readers still get a glimpse of him
in the underworld. Homer sets the stage for "The Odyssey" by introducing Odysseus as
a minor character in "The Iliad." Odysseus represents heroic qualities that stem from a
strong will and mind, not just physical warrior-like abilities.
 
Tone and Setting
"The Odyssey" and "The Iliad" are interconnected because both poems deal with Greek
mythology and the relationship between man and the gods. However, Homer presents a
much fairer view of the gods in "The Odyssey" than in "The Iliad." In "The Odyssey," the
gods use divine justice in their dealings with humans. They punish wrongdoing and
issue consequences for immoral or unjust behavior, including punishments for
Odysseus when he acts selfishly. In "The Iliad," the gods act out of their own free will,
chastising and rewarding mankind on whim.
 
Significance of the Trojan War
"The Odyssey" is related to "The Iliad" because both poems involve the Trojan War. In
"The Iliad," the Trojan War has been raging for 10 years and Achilleus finally dedicates
himself to defeating the Trojans after his best friend is killed in battle. The Trojan War
has already ended at the beginning of "The Odyssey," but Odysseus is lost at sea and
hasn't been able to return home to Ithaca after the war. Odysseus' wife and surviving
countrymen eagerly await his return, but fear he's dead.

3.  What are the themes of these two literary pieces? Explain in your own words.
Kunin ang theme ni cj haha
Odyssey of Homer
The Odyssey Themes
·       Loss
The title of The Odyssey has given us a word to describe a journey of epic proportions.
Throughout his travels, Odysseus' central emotion is loneliness. We first encounter him
as he pines away for home, alone on Calypso's beach, and he is not above weeping
when thinking of home at other points. He also endures great loss through the deaths of
his brothers-in-arms from the Trojan War and his shipmates afterward. Loneliness
pervades the emotions of other characters; Penelope is nearly in constant tears over
her absent husband, Telemachus has never known his legendary father, and Odysseus'
mother explains that loneliness caused her death.
·       Fidelity
Yet tempering Odysseus' desire to return home is the temptation to enjoy the luxurious
surroundings in which he sometimes finds himself -- particularly when he is in the
company of beautiful goddesses. He happily spends a year on Circe’s island as her
lover and does not seem to complain too much about his eight years of imprisonment
on Calypso’s island. In both cases, Odysseus expresses little remorse about being
unfaithful to his wife -- although infidelity is what he fears Penelope may be succumbing
to at home. Indeed, Odysseus does remain true to Penelope in his heart, and his desire
to reunite with her drives his faithful journey. Fidelity is also central at the end of the
poem, when Odysseus tests the loyalties of his servants and punishes those who have
betrayed him.
 
Revenge
Though it sweeps across many themes and aspects of human nature, The Odyssey is
broadly framed as a revenge story: the climax is the slaughtering of suitors who have
been vying to take over Odysseus' estate in his absence. This revenge is deeply
cathartic and comes across as more well-earned because of the trials to which
Odysseus was subjected at sea before he was finally "allowed" by the gods to reclaim
his estate.

Hope and  Bravery

Odysseus  had faced many challenges on his way back home, but he never loses his
hope that one day he will come back to his country. He showed bravery in facing all the
challenges he encounter in all the islands that he had went. 

4.  Give a brief summary of each of these two literary pieces.

Iliad by Homer
ILIAD OF HOMER

Plot Summary

The Achaeans and Trojans have been fighting the Trojan War for 10 years. The war
was spurred when Paris of Troy fell in love with and abducted Helen, wife of King
Menelaus of Sparta, who is the younger brother of the Achaean commander
Agamemnon. The poem’s inciting event is a quarrel between Agamemnon and his
best warrior Achilles. Its events explore themes around impermanence of human life
and creations, poetry as a medium of immortalization, and the hero’s journey.

Following a raid on a nearby community, Agamemnon takes Chryseis, daughter of

priest of Apollo, as his prize. He rudely rejects her father’s substantial ransom for her
return, despite his fellow leaders’ opposition. Apollo devastates the Achaeans with a
plague, prompting Achilles to call a council in which he questions Agamemnon’s
leadership. In retaliation, Agamemnon confiscates Achilles’s prize, Briseis, on the
grounds that she will replace Chryseis, who Agamemnon grudgingly returns to her
father.

Enraged, Achilles withdraws himself and his troops from battle and entreats to his
mother, the sea goddess Thetis who once saved Zeus during an Olympian rebellion, to
appeal to Zeus on behalf of his honor. Zeus cannot refuse her offer, though he knows
it will cause strife with his wife Hera, who supports the Achaeans. He promises Thetis
that he will make the Achaeans feel the loss of their best warrior. The tide of battle
turns in favor of the Trojans, despite the meddling of Athena, Poseidon, and Hera on
behalf of the Achaeans. As the situation grows increasingly desperate, Agamemnon
sends an embassy to Achilles with the promise of many gifts, including the return of
Briseis, to entreat him to return to battle. Achilles refuses, saying that no amount of
treasure can compensate for the loss of his life. If he returns to battle, he will die,
according to a prophecy told him by Thetis. He announces that he will only return if the
Trojans directly threaten his ships.

Realizing that he has Zeus’s approval and Apollo and Ares’s assistance, Hector, Troy’s
prince and mightiest warrior, grows increasingly confident. Apollo helps him break
through the protective wall the Achaeans built around their camp. The Achaean
leaders fight fiercely, but Hector sets one of their ships on fire. Worried for the
Achaeans, Achilles’s companion Patroclus convinces Achilles to allow him to wear his
armor into battle. If the Trojans think Achilles has returned to battle, they will retreat.
Still too angry to return himself, Achilles agrees but warns Patroclus to return
immediately after securing the ships and not to press on to Troy’s gates. Caught up in
the rush of battle, Patroclus forgets his advice and is killed by Apollo and Hector.

Achilles’s grief fuses with his rage, and he returns to battle to exact revenge by killing
Hector. He succeeds, with Athena’s assistance, then drags Hector’s corpse around the
city, prompting Hector’s wife Andromache to collapse in grief, then lead Troy’s women
in choral dirges. Achilles hosts funeral games for Patroclus, magnanimously
distributing prizes to the participants, but his grief and rage are not satisfied. He
continues dragging Hector’s corpse behind his chariot, infuriating the gods, who love
and respect Hector. Thetis is sent to order Achilles to accept a ransom from Priam,
Hector’s father. Priam goes to Achilles, recovers his son’s body, and brings it back to
Troy. Hector’s wife, mother, and Helen each lead a lament for Hector. The poem ends
with his funeral.

Odyssey of Homer ( means long, tiresome expidision or voyage)

 Ten years after the fall of Troy, the victorious Greek hero Odysseus has still not
returned to his native Ithaca. A band of rowdy suitors, believing Odysseus to be dead,
has overrun his palace, courting his faithful -- though weakening -- wife, Penelope. With
permission from Zeus, the goddess Athena, Odysseus' greatest immortal ally, appears
in disguise and urges Odysseus' son Telemachus to seek news of his father at Pylos
and Sparta. However, the suitors, led by Antinous, plan to ambush him upon his return.
As Telemachus tracks Odysseus' trail through stories from his old comrades-in-arms,
Athena arranges for the release of Odysseus from the island of the beautiful goddess
Calypso, whose prisoner and lover he has been for the last eight years. Odysseus sets
sail on a makeshift raft, but the sea god Poseidon, whose wrath Odysseus incurred
earlier in his adventures by blinding Poseidon's son, the Cyclops Polyphemus, conjures
up a storm. With Athena's help, Odysseus reaches the Phaeacians. Their princess,
Nausicaa, who has a crush on the handsome warrior, opens the palace to the stranger.
Odysseus withholds his identity for as long as he can until finally, at the Phaeacians'
request, he tells the story of his adventures.
Odysseus relates how, following the Trojan War, his men suffered more losses at the
hands of the cicone, then were nearly tempted to stay on the island of the drug-addled
Lotus Eaters. Next, the Cyclops Polyphemus devoured many of Odysseus' men before
an ingenious plan of Odysseus' allowed the rest to escape -- but not before Odysseus
revealed his name to Polyphemus and thus started his personal war with Poseidon. The
wind god Ailos then provided Odysseus with a bag of winds to aid his return home, but
the crew greedily opened the bag, expecting that it was a bunch of gold and the
Greeks rowed tirelessly to the Island of  Laestrygonians where a breed of powerful
giants lived under the rule of their  king, Antiphates. Upon seeing the visitors,  the giants
pelted their ships with big rocks and  sank all of them except for Odysseus’s own
ship.Broken and depleted,
On their next stop, the goddess Circe tricked Odysseus' men and turned them into pigs.
With the help of the god Hermes, Odysseus defied her spell and changed the pigs back
into men. They stayed on her island for a year in the lap of luxury, with Odysseus as her
lover Eventually, his compatriots got worried that  Odysseus might be forgetting about
Ithaca  and persuaded him to leave Circe. When Odysseus  asked Circe to show him
the way to Ithaca,  she replied that he must speak with spirits  from the underworld and
meet with Tiresias,  the legendary Greek prophet, to learn how to get  home…
Odysseus goes to the Underworld for directions home and meets his dead friends,
mother and the heroes like Archilles,Ajax and also Agamemnon. Then the spirit of the
Theban prophet, Tirisies, appeared and told the Greek hero that Poseidon
was  punishing him for blinding his Cyclops son. He  then hinted at Odysseus’s future
and said that  he will one day return home and after that,  he will make a trip to a distant
land to make  peace with Poseidon. Then he warned Odysseus to  not harm the flock of

As Odysseus’s ship got near the island of Sirens,  he followed Circe’s advice and
melted a wheel of hard wax to cover his men’s ears. He then told  his crew to tie him to
the mast of the ship so he could listen to the song of the Sirens without  falling into the
water. As they passed through the island, Siren's beautiful song called Odysseus  by his
name and invited him to join them on their  island, promising to reveal his future to him. 
Mesmerized by their song, Odysseus made signs with  his face and frowned at his men

through the Siren’s Island,  the Greeks arrived at a dangerous strait  where they had to
navigate two massive rocks to  escape facing Scylla, a famous six-headed monster, and
at the same time avoid getting  sucked into the whirlpool of CharybdisAt sea, Zeus
punished them and all but Odysseus died in a storm. It was then that Odysseus reached
Calypso's island.
Odysseus finishes his story, and the Phaeacians hospitably give him gifts and ferry him
home on a ship. Athena disguises Odysseus as a beggar and instructs him to seek out
his old swineherd, Eumaeus; she will recall Telemachus from his own travels. With
Athena's help, Telemachus avoids the suitors' ambush and reunites with his father, who
reveals his identity only to his son and swineherd. He devises a plan to overthrow the
suitors with their help.
In disguise as a beggar, Odysseus investigates his palace. The suitors and a few of his
old servants generally treat him rudely as Odysseus sizes up the loyalty of Penelope
and his other servants. Penelope, who notes the resemblance between the beggar and
her presumably dead husband, proposes a contest: she will, at last, marry the suitor
who can string Odysseus' great bow and shoot an arrow through a dozen axe heads.
Only Odysseus can pull off the feat. Bow in hand, he shoots and kills the suitor Antinous
and reveals his identity. With Telemachus, Eumaeus, and his goatherd Philoitios at his
side, Odysseus leads the massacre of the suitors, aided only at the end by Athena.
Odysseus lovingly reunites with Penelope, his knowledge of their bed that he built the
proof that overcomes her skepticism that he is an impostor. Outside of town, Odysseus
visits his ailing father, Laertes, but an army of the suitors' relatives quickly finds them.
With the encouragement of a disguised Athena, Laertes strikes down the ringleader,
Antinous' father. Before the battle can progress any further, Athena, on command from
Zeus, orders peace between the two sides.
