The greek God, Antaeus, and Olaf are similar because they both rely on the ground underneath them. Olaf’s home is on the soil he has farmed all his life, it is where he finds comfort and he feels confident about himself while there, but he does not enjoy going into town because it is where his wife was not accepted. Antaeus is the same way. He gets his power and strength from the ground, and without it he loses the battle.
Olaf’s farm was an important part of his life. He worked on the farm for 53 years and it is where he fell in love with his wife, Inge. It shaped him into the person he was because it was where he spent all of his time. Olaf has a great bond with the land he lives on, and he does not want anyone to tell him what he can do
