PART 1: ODYSSEY UNIT 2016 PART 1: ODYSSEY UNIT 2016 ` PART 1: ODYSSEY UNIT 2016 Homer opens with an invocation, or prayer, asking the Muse° to help him sing his tale. Notice how the singer gives his listeners hints about how his story is to end. The Odyssey opens with a convention of epic poetry—the Sing in me, Muse, and through me tell the story poet’s prayer to the Muse. What does of that man skilled in all ways of contending,° the poet ask of the the wanderer, harried for years on end, Muse? after he plundered the stronghold on the proud height of Troy. 5 He saw the townlands and learned the minds of many distant men, and weathered many bitter nights and days in his deep heart at sea, while he fought only l to save his life, to bring his shipmates home. 10 But not by will nor valor could he save them, for their own recklessness destroyed them all— children and fools, they killed and feasted on the cattle of Lord Helios, the Sun, and he who moves all day through heaven took from their eyes the dawn of their return.

Whirlpool of the Charybdis
Expansion WHIRLPOOL OF THE CHARYBDIS Story: Charybdis was a sea monster of the ancient world. She swallowed huge amounts of sea water thrice a day before thrusting it out again creating dangerous whirlpools feared by all seamen. Charybdis was originally a sea-nymph and the daughter of Poseidon and Gaia. But after stealing Heracles’ cattle she was turned into a sea monster by Zeus as punishment. Preparation: Cut out the three whirlpool tiles and place them at the gameboard edge adjacent to the following squares: between Styx and Corinth, next to Halikarnassos and next to Cyprus. How can I use the whirlpool? • By crossing a whirlpool tile a player can move to distant water squares. • Whirlpool tiles do not count as squares. • Moving a ship through a whirlpool to a water square adjacent to another whirlpool tile costs 1 movement point likewise a normal movement – crossing the whirlpool costs no extra movement points. • Traveling through a whirlpool is dangerous. If a player wants to cross a whirlpool he has to roll 2 hoplites (if available on his shipboard). Each hoplite lying flat with the cross symbol visible is put to the Underworld. • After a challenge the loser’s ship as well as the Hydra may be relocated also through a whirlpool. In this case this is the will of Zeus, therefore no hoplites need to be rolled. Optional for experienced players: When preparing the game, the whirlpool tiles may be placed also adjacent to any other water squares than those suggested above.

Greek Mythology
Greek mythology Greek ‘myths’ (short for mythology) are a series of stories about the Gods and magical beings of Greece. We’ll bet you’ve heard of some of the famous – and infamous! – characters already, such as Heracles, (the strongest man on Earth) Zeus, (the God of the sky and king of the gods) Pegasus (a flying horse) and Hades (the god of the underworld). Created thousands of years ago, Greek myths were epic stories about Greek gods, passed down over generations. They often feature heroic battles and terrible creatures, and taught the importance of bravery, intelligence, and right and wrong. They showed that even the gods, like mortal men, could be punished or rewarded for their actions. Details of the ancient tales have been found on everything from pottery to temples to stone statues! Greek myths were a huge part of the religion in Ancient Greece, and offer a glimpse into the lives of the ancient people who told them. Check out five of these fascinating Greek myths below, and meet the people-eating, fire-breathing beasts and the heroes who battled them! Scylla and Charybdis The Monster: Scylla and Charybdis The Hero: Odysseus The Battle: On both sides of a narrow stretch of sea, monsters lie in wait. On one side, Scylla thrashes around her six snakelike heads, ready to crunch on passing sailors. On the other, Charybdis creates a deadly whirlpool. No person has ever faced these beasts and escaped unharmed. Now the king, Odysseus, and his crew must pass them to get home. They edge around Charybdis’ spiralling sea, saving the ship from being swallowed whole.

Notes for the Penelopiad
NOTES FOR THE PENELOPIAD Use this guide to assist you while reading Margaret Atwood’s The Penelopiad. This guide will provide you with important information about different characters, events, and references. MARGARET ATWOOD Canadian author Margaret Atwood is a prolific and award-winning novelist, poet, short story writer, essayist, and critic. From a young age, Atwood has been keenly interested in mythology and folk/fairy tales, which inspire much of her poetry. Atwood is one of Canada’s most famous and respected literary figures. Published in October 2005, Atwood’s original novella The Penelopiad was part of a Canongate series of myths retold by contemporary authors. The Penelopiad reexamines Homer’s epic story the Odyssey through a variety of genres: narrative, a classic Greek chorus, various types of poetry and song, and modern settings including a court trial and an anthropology lecture. THE PENELEOPIAD The layout of this novel is characterized by monologues and narration from Penelope in the underworld, flashbacks to important events in Penelope's life, and poetic and musical segments from the maids, both in the underworld and during the flashback. The story begins with Penelope alone in the Greek underworld of the dead. Penelope, the wife of Odysseus and renowned for her faithfulness, has decided to tell her side of the famous Odyssey story. Penelope is haunted in the underworld by the spirits of her twelve maids, the ones who Odysseys ordered to be killed upon his return to Ithaca. HOMER Like Shakespeare, Homer is a highly influential but extremely mysterious literary figure. His exact birthdate is unknown, and seven cities in Greece all claim to be his birthplace.

The Curse of the Cyclops Hubris and the Boundaries of Vengeance*
The Curse of the Cyclops Hubris and the Boundaries of Vengeance* Nikolaos Varvatakos Prison Officer/Translator Member of the administrative section of the Greek Official Centre for the Reintegration of Ex-Prisoners "EPANODOS". Introduction The value of the Homeric epics The Iliad and The Odyssey does not lie only in the definitive impact these two works had on shaping ancient Greek civilization – which, in turn, played a key role in shaping global civilization – but also in that these epics, regardless of how much they are grounded in historical fact, are rife with symbolism of timeless moralistic and philosophical worth. The Odyssey, in particular, contains mythological material that can well be considered an allegory of the human condition and the problems all humankind faces. Both the central theme and the various sub-themes of this epic make up an archetypal allegory of the string of trials that man (symbolized by Odysseus) must go through in order to achieve self-realization and completion (symbolized by Odysseus’ return to Ithaca and to his beloved family and friends). These trials roughly correspond to two basic emotions (impulses or instincts) that each person must successfully deal with in order to reach his or her own Ithaca, to evolve, in other words, into a complete personality: fear and pleasure. Indeed, almost every episode of The Odyssey can be viewed as a trial inspiring either the former emotion or the latter: encountering the Laestrygones, for instance, the Cicones, or Scylla and Charybdis inspire fear while encountering the Lotus-Eaters and the Sirens or staying on the island of Helios are trials that entail exposure to dangerous and intense pleasures (temptations).

P. Nelis Long considered to be a literary failure, a would-be Homer who dared to imitate the Iliad and Odyssey by writing a version of the ancient, pre-Homeric story of Jason and the Argonauts and their quest for the Golden Fleece, Apollonius Rhodius has only since the 1960s or 1970s begun to be recognized as an epic poet of great merit and considerable influence. His Argonautica, a poem of 5,835 verses arranged in four books, the only epic poem to survive in its entirety from the long period between Homer and Virgil, quickly became the canonical version of this most ubiquitous of Greek myths. Numerous papyri and frequent imitations and adaptations by both Greek and Roman writers (Theocritus, Catullus, Varro Atacinus, Virgil, Valerius Flaccus, Dionysius Periegetes, the author of the Orphic Argonautica) testify to its impact and popularity. Apollonius was also the author of scholarly treatises devoted to the study of Homer, Hesiod, and Archilochus, as well as a number of other hexameter poems that related the foundations of cities, including Caunus, Alexandria, Naucratis, Rhodes, and Cnidus.
