FinalDraft
In the famous story of “The Odyssey”, originally told by Homer, moral Greek values are often said throughout the story. Values such as Loyalty, Respect, cunning wit. Were very cultural norms. These values were shown in several chapters. Today we face our world’s situations, which support and relate to the same values. Homer’s story still has relevance in today’s modern world.
Loyalty- The story of Calypso, when Odysseus chooses to go home instead of the promise of beautiful women and immortal. He shows Loyalty to his wife by turning down the hottest chick in the world for his love.
Respect your guests and Gods – When Polyphemus starts trying to eat his guests, Odysseus blinds him. The Men eat the Sun god’s cattle, so the god kills them afterwards. Alcinous is kind and generous to Odysseus through out his stay.
Cunning wit – Odysseus does not allow Polyphemus to be killed because he is the only one who can move the rock in front of the door instead he tells polyphemus that his name is “nobody” so when Odysseus and his men are able to escape.
