Week 8

When I first read through Odessey, I found little difficult to understand because the way it was written was difficult to understand. The beginning of text line got me in confuse like what exactly the narrator is saying. However I search the background story of Odyssey I found that the story took place in eight century in Greek. I found that odyssey was written by Homer. While reading through the Odyssey I found that there is strong interaction between God and people. I also realised that god protect people from evil things. “We gods had warned him, sent down hermes Argeiphontes, our most observant courier “ (line 25 book 1) To be honest I don’t know who is god speaking to however this lead to believe me that God protect and guides the humans through right path.

In Odyssey from book 1 to 8  I found that the main  protagonist  is  Odysseus , he was the one one who fought among the other greeks heroes at troy and aftermath of war he struggles to return home (Ithaca) . I found that most of  his team died but he left. The another character is also introduce in this text,  a woman named Penelope  is the  wife of  Odysseus ,  Through them I discovered there son Telemachus  Odysseus’s son. An infant when Odysseus left for Troy, Telemachus is about twenty at the beginning of the story. Over all during that time I found there is strong connection between and humans.
