Homer's Odyssey Disg Homer’s Odyssey: A Discussion Guide By David Bruce This is a royalty-free discussion guide. I will not make a dime from it. I recommend that you read the translations by Robert Fagles and by Ian Johnston. Ian Johnston of Malaspina University-College, Nanaimo, BC has an excellent translation available for a free download at http://records.viu.ca/~johnstoi/homer/odysseytofc.htm I also recommend Elizabeth Vandiver’s course on the Odyssey, which is available from the Teaching Company.

Note: The book titles are taken from Robert Fitzgerald’s translation of Virgil’s Aeneid and from Robert Fagles’ translation of Virgil’s Aeneid. Robert Fitzgerald’s book titles are listed first. Preface The purpose of this book is educational. I have read, studied and taught Homer’s Odyssey, and I wish to pass on what I have learned to other people who are interested in studying Homer’s Odyssey. In particular, I think that the readers of this introduction to Homer’s Odyssey will be bright high school seniors and college first-year students, as well as intelligent adults who simply wish to study the Odyssey despite not being literature majors. This book uses a question-and-answer format. It poses, then answers, relevant questions about Homer, background information, and the Odyssey. This book goes through the Odyssey book by book. I recommend that you read the relevant section of the Odyssey, then read my comments, then go back and re-read the relevant section of the Odyssey. However, do what works for you. Teachers may find this book useful as a discussion guide for the epic poem. Teachers can have students read books from the epic poem, then teachers can ask students selected questions from this discussion guide. It helps to know something about Homer’s Iliad, Virgil’s Aeneid, Greek and Roman mythology, and Ovid’s Metamorphoses, but this background reading is not strictly necessary. You have to begin reading great literature somewhere, and Homer’s Odyssey is a good place to start. (Come on in! The water’s great!

An Anecdote Philip Pullman, author of the His Dark Materials trilogy, is a wonderful storyteller — not just when he writes his novels, but also when he tells out loud the stories of classic literature. For example, when he and his family were on vacation, Tom, his young son, found it difficult to stay still while they waited for their food in a restaurant. Therefore, Mr. Pullman started telling him the story of Odysseus, hero of Homer’s Odyssey, who spent 10 years at Troy in the Trojan War, and who spent another 10 years returning back home to his home island, Ithaca. Although Odysseus was the King of Ithaca, he returned home without any of his men or ships. Ever cautious, he disguised himself as a beggar, and then he set out to see if he had any friends left on the island. He found that a gang of young men who thought he was dead had overtaken his palace. They wanted to kill his son and to force his wife, Penelope, to choose one of them to marry. Eventually, Mr. Pullman reached the point in the story where Odysseus gets his great bow in his hands and strings the bow. After stringing the bow, he plucks the string on the bow just like a harp player plucks a string on a harp. Immediately, the suitors besieging Penelope feel dread because they know that Odysseus is going to try to kill all of them. At this point, Tom, who was holding a drink in his hands, was so excited that he bit a chunk out of his glass. Their waitress saw him do that, and she was so shocked that she dropped the tray with all their food on the floor. Mr. Pullman ends his story by writing, “And I sent up a silent prayer of thanks to Homer.” (Source: Margaret Speaker Yuan, Philip Pullman, pp. 53-54.) Introduction to Homer’s Odyssey Homer wrote (or perhaps created orally) two great epic poems. The first, the Iliad, tells the story of Achilles’ anger during the Trojan War. At first, Achilles is angry at Agamemnon, the leader of the Greek expedition against Troy. Later, Achilles is angry at Hector, who killed in battle Achilles’ best friend, Patroclus. At the end of the epic poem, Achilles is no longer angry. He is at peace with himself, and he is ready to die, as he knows he must. The Iliad tells only a small part of the story of the Trojan War. It does not tell the story of the Trojan Horse. A much later Roman epic poem, Virgil’s Aeneid, does tell the story of the Trojan Horse. The Odyssey tells the story of Odysseus after the end of the Trojan War. Odysseus has spent 10 years at Troy going to war, and he takes 10 years, much of it spent as a captive, getting back to his home island of Ithaca. He has a number of adventures as he journeys back home, and when he arrives on Ithaca he has more adventures. His ships and men have been lost, and he arrives alone on Ithaca, although he does have the powerful protection of his patron goddess, Athena. Odysseus discovers that almost everyone thinks that he is dead, and he discovers that suitors have taken over his house and are disrespecting his son, Telemachus, as they attempt to force his wife, Penelope, to marry one of them. With the aid of Athena, and with the considerable aid of his own wits, Odysseus is able to reestablish himself as the King of Ithaca. Pt. One: Mythological Background Important Terms: Iliad Odyssey Zeus Hera Athena Thetis Aphrodite Artemis Iphigeneia Agamemnon Menelaus Achilles Odysseus Hector Paris Judgment of Paris Aeneus Aeneid • Why is it necessary to know background information about the Trojan War when reading Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey? Homer is an epic poet who tells traditional stories that his audience is already very familiar with. Because of that, Homer does not need to explain who his characters are or even the major events of the Trojan War, such as how it started or how it will end. Homer is able to jump into the middle of the story in the Iliad and start telling about an incident that occurred during the final year of the Trojan War. Of course, Homer’s contemporary audience is very different from his audience of today. Homer created and performed his epic poems hundreds of years before Jesus of Nazareth was born. Homer came from an oral tradition, and he seems to have composed his poems either before writing was invented or perhaps when writing was coming into use. Possibly, he saw the advantages of writing, and he used the new technology of writing to create two very long, very complex poems, both of which I would personally put in a list of the top 10 books ever created.

  • The Shields of Achilles and Aeneas: the Worlds Portrayed by Homer and Vergil
    Vanessa Peters The Shields of Achilles and Aeneas: The Worlds Portrayed by Homer and Vergil The epic simile is a common device in epic poetry; it forms a relationship between two un- likely things and causes one to be viewed through the lens of the other. Unlike a normal simile, an epic simile has a fully developed vehicle that reflects the complexity back on the tenor; that is, an epic sim- ile, in its increased length and depth, can have layers of complexity that a normal simile cannot. The shield of Achilles (Hom. Il. 18.558-709) in Book 18 of Homer’s Iliad and the shield of Aeneas (Verg. Aen. 8.738-858) in book 8 of Vergil’s Aeneid are examples of epic similes, in which the poet takes the role of the god who forges the shield and can comment on society unobtrusively.1 These shields convey different perspectives of Greek and Roman society. Whereas Homer shows the world of peace in con- trast to the world of war to illustrate the tragedy of the Iliad, Vergil expresses Roman triumphalism to glorify Rome and her people. Book 18 of the Iliad marks a turning point in the epic. In it, Achilles decides to return to bat- tle in order to avenge Patroclus’ death by killing Hector. Since he has lost his armour to the enemy, his mother Thetis, knowing that his fate is sealed, beseeches Hephaestus to forge him a new set (Il. 18.534). The god agrees to her request and sets out to work, creating a magnificent shield for Achilles to wear in battle.

  • The World of Agamemnon
    FROM DIRECTOR STEPHEN WADSWORTH THE WORLD OF AGAMEMNON Aeschylus’s Oresteia, consisting of three plays—Agamemnon, The Libation Bearers, and The Eumenides—is the only complete cycle that survives from the fifth century B.C., and Agamemnon is arguably the earliest dramatic masterpiece of Western culture. Aeschylus’s audiences, who watched all three plays in one day, were intimately familiar with the historical and cultural references in the plays. Twenty-six centuries later, we offer these notes to orient our audiences. There are many versions of most of the stories referred to in Agamemnon; we follow Aeschylus’s version in these notes. AGAMEMNON Agamemnon ruled Mycenae from the city of Argos. He married Clytaemnestra, mortal daughter of Zeus and Leda, and had three children, Iphigenia, Electra, and Orestes. All five family members were the subjects of dramas by the three great playwrights of the fifth century B.C. in Athens—Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides. Iphigenia and Electra are not featured in Aeschylus’s script, but they appear in this adaptation, in the chorus. THE HOUSE OF ATREUS Agamemnon’s grandfather Pelops won his wife in a chariot race by cheating, then betrayed and killed his co-conspirator, who as he lay dying, cursed the next generation of Pelops’s family. Pelops’s two sons, Atreus and Thyestes, inherited this curse and lived it out in a grisly power struggle. Thyestes seduced Atreus’s wife and disputed the throne of Argos. Defeated and exiled, he returned with his children as a supplicant. Atreus welcomed his brother back with a celebratory feast, at which he served Thyestes a dish of his own slaughtered sons.
