Odyssey Log
You are about to embark upon your own hero’s journey by engaging with the challenging text
of Homer’s The Odyssey. This “map” is designed to aid you in your understanding and
analysis of the text.
**The complete log is due ______________________________.
Part I: Daily Discussion Questions
During/after each night’s reading devise 1 discussion question per book (chapter) and write
them down on a piece of notebook paper. I will check these as homework each day. You will
continuously add to this, adding pages as needed. (2pts)
Part II: Reading Guide
Answer the pertinent reading guide questions during each night’s reading. (3pts)
Part III: Dialectical Journals
Write two dialectical journals each week. (two columns):
Write a quote and correctly cite.
Analyze (appox. 50 words)
Example:
“he’d have escaped his doom, too,
despite Athena’s hate, if he hadn’t
flung that brazen boast, the mad
blind fool” (Od. 4.563-564).
Menelaus is telling Telemachus about
his journey home and the king relates
the story of Ajax, who had angered
Poseidon through his hubris. Ajax’
arrogant pride ultimately caused his
downfall. Readers know that this
portrayal of hubris which angers
Poseidon parallels the actions of
Odysseus.
Part IV: Hero’s Journey
Create a chronology of the major events in the story as they relate to the Hero’s Journey
proffered by Joseph Campbell
A. Hero’s Journey for Odysseus
B. Hero’s Journey for Telemachus
You may take notes in the templates located in your study guide Describe events and number
them as they occurred in the story. Also consider Odysseus and Telemachus in comparison to
modern heroes (H and h) and the degree to which each are successful in fulfilling the hero’s
journey.
** Guide to Part III: Dialectical Journal—use cited text details to back up your analysis. At
least 100 words per entry.
1. Write a journal entry from the viewpoint of one of the following characters: Telemachus,
Penelope, Eurycleia, or Antinous. Describe in detail the events that happen in the first two
books of The Odyssey from this person’s perspective and limited to the events that that
character would know.
2. Describe and explain in detail the influence of women, mortal and immortal, in the first five
books of The Odyssey.
3. Using details from Books 3, 4, 6, 7 & 8, discuss the Greek view of hospitality.

or spirits of the dead. Describe his meeting with two of them which seem the most interesting
to you. Explain why you chose these two and what Odysseus learns from them. Give your
opinion of what type of people they are and why you feel that way. Also explain for what overall
“didactic” (teaching) purpose they might have been included in the book.
5. In Book 13, what do we learn about the relationship between Athena and Odysseus? What do
we learn about the relationship between the gods? (Zeus/Poseidon) (Poseidon/Athena)
Consider the values of deceit, retreat and compromise.
6. Describe all the reasons the suitors are deserving of punishment according to Greek culture.
(Up to Book 18) How does Homer cause us to sympathize with Odysseus and have
antagonism toward the suitors?
7. Develop one of your daily discussion questions or elaborate on a class discussion point using
details from at least two books.
8. Write a list of Odysseus’ Rules for Survival. (You don’t have to use cited text details for this
entry.)
**OPTIONS: * May always: interpret & make a prediction / make a connection (to
literature, life, characters, subject, history, knowledge) / interpret and ask a question /
challenge the text / extend the text
* Rewrite a scene as another character, citation should reflect how/why character
you chose is approaching situation in a different way.
Place these three sections in order in a folder. Parts I, II, & IV may be hand written, but Part III
needs to be typed, double spaced, MLA style. Put your name and period on the outside of the
