The Adventures of Odysseus
The Odyssey is an interesting epic poem revolving the life of a man named Odysseus. Odysseus is on his long journey home from the Trojan War which took him away from his newborn son and his homeland. Along the way, his crew and he run into cyclops, gods that help and work against him, 3 headed dogs, whirlpools, and strange islands. Little does the crew know that the only one that makes it back to Ithaca would be Odysseus. Odysseus is very wise and persuasive.
Odysseus is wise. For example, Odysseus got the cyclops drunk so they could find a way to escape the cave and move the huge rock. “Cyclops, try some wine, here's liquor to wash down your scraps of men. Taste it and see the kind of drink we carry (253-255).” This
