In The Odyssey, Circe informs Odysseus, before hand, that he will come across a prodigious monster on his voyage. This monster’s name is Scylla and she has six heads and twelve legs. For every one of her heads, she swallows a person off the ship. No ship was ever passed through this dangerous monster without losing at least one man. Overall, six men were sacrificed in order for Odysseus and the rest of the crew to get home safely. But today, human sacrifice is not common whatsoever.

  • Persuasive Essay On Love And Sacrifice

    1874 Words  | 4 Pages

    It comes to actually sacrificing your own body for something. Whether it 's something you believe in, or for a physical thing. People in the world have done this for a better cause and possibly inspired with their actions. There may be a time where you 'll suffer so that the other you care for will be comfortable. For example, in "The Gift Of Magi" the author describes a scene in which the father comes home, he is described as thin and feeling cold. It states "He looked thin and very serious...needed a new coat and he was without gloves." This shows how this man gave up the comfort of warmth and he 'd rather let his body be cold just so he won 't waste money on himself and he’d probably use it for necessities other than his own. Perhaps this shows that he probably gives up a meal once in awhile to use money on a meal for perhaps his family rather than himself. He’d physically sacrifice being nourished and warm to benefit others but himself and expects nothing in return. This conveys immense love if one is willing to do so. Another example of physical sacrifice in the “Gift Of Magi” is a scene the author explains the woman giving up her own hair just to have money for her husband. The story states “I had my hair cut off and sold because I couldn’t have lived through Christmas without giving you a present.” (Henry. O. 2) This woman loves the man so much that she was willing to sacrifice
