These past two month, I have read a variety of texts all appealing and exciting. Thus, it has been hard for me to choose a specific text to write a five page paper on. Finally, I was able to narrow my selection down and decide to write my paper on The Odyssey. The reason for choosing The Odyssey is because of Homer’s writing style. Homer’s writing is engaging because he was able to embellish to no ends Odysseus’s character. In The Odyssey, the character of Odysseus was portrayed by Homer to help bring out certain exaggerations and unrealistic elements. Odysseus is introduced as a man of strong and prudent character at start. Since Odysseus was able to overcome such great obstacles such as escaping from Kyklops’s in order to free himself and his men, Homer almost made me believe that Odysseus was not human but a instead a god. Thus, what I would like to examine in my paper is how Homer is able to portray Odysseus to the audience in a variety of different ways.
