Odysseus graduates middle school

Revisado: 03-07-20

Wonderful performance, excellent writing, I’m very glad to able to say I’ve gotten this far in The Odyssey by Homer. The only gripe I have is with Odysseus himself who is not, in fact, the clever rogue I’ve heard all my friends claim he is. He, instead, is a normal man with good listening skills trying to get home. The Gods and Demi-Gods intervene and help him at nearly every turn! They always tell him what to do and how to do it and that he’ll succeed when he does it. And what happens? Exactly that! The one time he doesn’t follow directions he loses a whole chunk of his forces and promptly goes back to following directions. I had so much fun finally understanding this story but it’s like an adult Greek version of kindergarten where you don’t expect the one kid to do what they’re told, but then the do it perfectly and so you respect them over the other kids? That’s Odysseus. That’s what makes him a legend: he’s a good listener.
