  • The Odyssey: The Success Of Odysseus As A Hero

    1041 Words  | 3 Pages

    As seen throughout The Odyssey, a hero is perceived as a person who achieves great success never before seen and whose legacy lives beyond their years. Since The Odyssey was written around the eighth century BCE, the people that we view as heros in present day tend to embody different traits than the heroes of that time. Even though the word, “hero” does not have one specific definition, a hero is generally categorized as someone who is idolized for their bravery and does anything necessary to defend their people. Although Odysseus embodies the Homeric ideals of heroism in that he accomplishes triumphs that others have not, his successes are the product of divine intervention and his actions were primarily selfish; therefore, he is not a true

    1286 Words  | 3 Pages

    "Could I forget that kingly man, Odysseus?  There is no mortal half so wise; no mortal gave so much to the lords of the open sky." proclaims Zeus, the king of all gods in Homer's The Odyssey.  He, among countless others, harbors high regards for Odysseus, the mastermind of the Trojan War turned lost sailor.  However, the epic poem is sprinkled with the actions of gods and goddesses pushing Odysseus towards his path home to Ithaka, giving the mortal war hero little exposure to the limelight.  So when does all the high and mighty talk of Odysseus' power prove true?  Only in the absence of godly intervention can the title character live up to his name.  In Homer's The Odyssey, excessive reliance on the gods' assistance weakens the overall effect of Odysseus as the hero; while, as a break from the norm, Odysseus' single-handed defeat of the Kyklops Polyphêmos adds true suspense to the story as well as merit to Odysseus' character.

    Through his burden of carrying the ring, Frodo is subject to many new perspectives that make him realize the importance of the group. Without the help of the others, especially Sam, Frodo would have not been able to accomplish the great task he was given. At first Frodo does not want Sam to come along as he feels it’s too dangerous to subject his friend to. This illustrates his perspective in the beginning of the story of being selfish and thinking that his journey can be taken alone, “It would be the death of you to come with me, Sam," said Frodo, "and I could not have borne that.""Not as certain as being left behind," said Sam."But I am going to Mordor.""I know that well enough, Mr. Frodo. Of course you are. And I'm coming with you.” He later learns through new perspectives that without the help of Sam he would not have gotten far in his journey. Frodo is foreign to the harsh reality he is thrust into. Not only is he away from home, he is also burdened with the task of keeping the ring safe. This burden becomes quite a strain on Frodo, “There is no real going back. Though I may come to the Shire, it will not seem the same; for I shall not be the same. I am wounded with knife, sting, and tooth, and a long burden. Where shall I find rest?” J.R.R Tolkien The Lord of the Rings. With the help of Sam and the realization that he is doing this for more than himself,

    Every hero goes through certain stages in their valorous journey. Some stages are more important in a hero’s journey compared to others. In The Hobbit, the most important stage of the hero’s journey is stage 6, tests/challenges.

    And while some challenges are greater than others, they have to be conquered in order to complete the journey. A big challenge that had to be overcome was defeating Smaug, a dragon who took over the mountain which was filled with treasure. The dwarves must defeat him to reclaim the mountain. “Then the dwarves forgot their joy and their confident boasts of a moment before and cowered down in fright. Smaug was still to be reckoned with.” (Tolkien 199). Also Defeating Smaug is important because one of the main reasons they are on their quest is because they want to kill Smaug and reclaim the Lonely Mountain. Another challenge that Bilbo must face on his own himself while on the journey is killing giant spiders to rescue his friends. While in the dark forest of Mirkwood, the dwarves get taken by spiders and wrapped up in string while Bilbo is on the top of a tree. Using his sword and rocks he has to kill the spiders and free his friends.“Suddenly he saw, too, that there were spiders huge and horrible sting in the branch above him” (145). Also this challenge helped Bilbo grow and discover what he can do, and prove to the dwarves he is useful. When the dwarves finally reclaim the mountain Thorin soon becomes very protective of the newly acquired gold, to the point where he starts to trust no one. “But none of our gold shall thieves take or the violent carry off while we are alive”

    journey for Frodo begins, he doesn't think he's particularly gallant, yet he must complete his task as he is the only one well suited for it. Along the way, particularly before he and Sam are separated from the rest of the Fellowship, either he or one of the compelling individuals he encounters make constant commentary on his apparent lack of qualifications. He is not omniscient like Elrond; he is not valiant like Aragorn; he's not almighty like Gandalf. It is apparent that Frodo lacks the characteristics of heroism. Frodo is only a hobbit, gifted with common sense, a good heart, and determination to accomplish his task of heading to Mordor. “I know what I must do, it's just that... I'm afraid to do it.” (Tolkien. 139.) With Boromir's aggravated reaction, Frodo takes into consideration that the Ring will demolish everyone and everything, including Hobbiton. Frodo then begins to realize that he will have to solely depend on himself. As the pure goodness in him doesn't want his friends to get hurt. “Frodo has been touched by the weapons of enemy.” (Tolkien. 203.) In which Frodo sacrifices himself so Sam and Merry wouldn't get hurt. As the journey continues his determination to save his people and his friends is what allows him to follow through.

    Nearly 3,000 years after it was first composed, Homer's The Odyssey remains as one of the most celebrated and widely read poems ever told. Furthermore, it has had a perennial influence on the works of many great poets across the centuries. Both Alfred Tennyson and Constantine P. Cavafy were greatly influenced by Homer's Odyssey. Their poems, "Ulysses" and "Ithaca", were the results of expanding on Homer's epic. The main distinction between the two poems are the protagonists' attitude towards Ithaca. In Ulysses's case, although he is the king of Ithaca, he is unhappy with it and additionally, he longs to leave it behind for the open seas. However, the Ithaca in Cavafy's poem is described by the poet as a destination everyone should look forward to because the journey there is filled with experiences.

Sharp spikes ran along its back and its mouth was filled with rows of jagged teeth and a long, forked tongue.
