Homer’s ancient Greek myth


By: Joshua Ponce
Christopher Garcia Gatmaitan
The Odyssey is Homer's epic of Odysseus' 10-year struggle to return home after the Trojan War.
While Odysseus battles mystical creatures and faces the wrath of the gods, his wife Penelope and his
son Telemachus stave off suitors vying for Penelope's hand and Ithaca's throne long enough for Odysseus to
return.
The Odysseyends as Odysseus wins a contest to prove his identity, slaughters the suitors, and retakes the
throne of Ithaca.
Explanation:

The poster shows the journey of a legendary warrior Odysseus who


faced dangers on his way home to his beloved wife, son and
kingdom.

The characters on the left were some of Odysseus great enemies


who made his journey home so miserable that almost took his life at
sea and land. As he is “brain over brawn”, Odysseus was able to
successfully overthrow all his enemies in the battles.

While the characters on the right were the Gods and persons who
not just helped, but also motivated Odysseus to live and never give
up despite all the near-death struggles on his way back home. They
believed that Odysseus who’s a man of will can always make a way
to get through and overcome challenges.
