The Odyssey: Part One

Today in class, we reviewed The Sirens, read through Scylla and Charybdis, and began the final passage in Part One: The Cattle of the Sun God.

This is a link to the Powerpoint from class today. It's heavy on images, and light on words.

The good news is: we're just about done with Part One of The Odyssey.
The bad news is, that means there's a Quiz on Friday over Part 1.

HW for Thursday, 4/25:

• Finish Part One of the Odyssey. Read all of the stories, up to and through the Cattle of the Sun.
• Answer the Review Questions at the end of page 1082 in your composition notebook
• Here are the Questions:

• Tomorrow in class, we'll be reviewing all of Part One, as well as covering what will be on the Quiz on Friday.

HW for Friday, 4/26:

• Study for your Quiz on Part One of The Odyssey

Notes on Epic Poetry

A lot of background notes on what is an epic poem, and the context for The Odyssey, can be found in your Lit textbook before Part One begins:

• pg 1040A: Ancient Greece
• pg 1040C: Gods & Titans
• pg 1040D: Greek Gods
• pg 1040E: Homer the Epic Poet
• pg 1040F: Epic Poetry Notes
• pg 1041: Epic Heroes
• pg 1043: Trojan War Overview

You'll know these pages by their red borders. The notes on Epic Poetry are pretty important, which is why they're in bold.

Other resources from Class*:

• What Makes an Epic Poem?
• Traits of An Epic Hero
• Examples of Epic Similes
• Odysseus as Hero
• Odyssey Anticipation Guide
• Epic Poem Lit Terms Handout
• Epithets in The Odyssey

*not all documents were given out in class. The Notes on What Makes an Epic Poem? and Traits of an Epic Hero were definitely assigned to be taken in the Comp. Notebook.
