Mythical Monsters Of The Odyssey
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Ever since man began telling tales, incredible accounts of freakish, monster-like animals have captivated and horrified entire communities. The basis for these extraordinary fabrications was the inability of early writers to distinguish between truth and fantasy. As the stories were passed down through generations, they eventually became accepted as the legends known today. However, Greek mythology goes just a bit further than conventional monsters, in that examples of mythical monsters like those found in Homer's The Iliad clearly speak to a preponderance of human imperfections to which the author attributes some of literature's most memorable beasts. Tracing Odysseus' evolution and fundamental importance through Homer's The Odyssey provides the student with a significantly better understanding of mortal limitations, truth, honesty and the desire to achieve and uphold one's righteousness, which are clearly illustrated through characterization of mythical monsters. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
