The+Odessy

In this book The Odyssey they encounter many obstacles, like the cyclops, Scylla, charybdis, and many others. The cyclops is a one-eyed man who is strangely large. The Scylla is a six-headed monster who eats six of Odysseus's crew members. The charybdis is a whirlpool that might swallow any ship that enters. Odysseus and his crew are coming back from the Trojan war and they encountered the cyclops. They managed to escape but Odysseus had to be smart and rub it in the Cyclops face. So the Cyclops talked to his dad and said that he should kill Odysseus and his crew members. So Poseidon the Cyclops father, made a big storm that wrecked there ship. Then they had to decided weather to go toward the whirlpool Charybdis or go toward Scylla the six-headed monster!



Now Odysseus has no ship and has to make the decision weather to go toward the whirlpool and not know how many men he will lose, or go toward the monster and knowing that he will lose six of his men. So Odysseus decided to go toward Scylla (the six-headed monster) without telling his crew. They got there and ended up fighting her. In the end he lost six crew members died. members. Now Odysseus is down six men and he was the reason they died and he had to watch them die, now could you imagine the guilt and pain he is feeling right now.

Duty is more important than how you feel. True heroes are hard to find. Pride is the downfall of men. Friendship is more important than allegiences. Strategy counts. leave monsters alone.
