The Odyssey Background Zuroeveste – English 9

The Trojan War Between 1194-1184 BC Waged against the city of Troy by the Greeks War began when Paris (of Troy) took Helen from her husband Menelaus (king of Sparta). Was going to be resolved by simply returning Helen, or “fight to the death”, but when Paris cowered from the fight, war began.

Odysseus – King of Ithaca Famed for his courage, intelligence, and leadership In Greek mythology, Odysseus was the son of Laertes and Antikleia. Married to Penelope, with a son, Telemachos Fortunate enough to receive the special aid and protection of the goddess Athena (goddess of wisdom and military victory).

Participation in Trojan War When asked to join the other cities in the war by Menelaus, he was VERY hesitant to leave his wife and family. Therefore, he pretended to be insane. He ploughed a field with an ox and an ass yoked together and scattering salt in the furrows Messenger was not tricked, however, and lay down Telemachos in the path of the plough. As he leaves, Odysseus tells Penelope that if he does not return, she is to remarry when Telemachus comes of age.

Odysseus’ First Major Task was a BIG ONE It was Odysseus who persuaded the reluctant Achilles to join the Greek expedition to Troy The warrior Achilles was predicted to be THE ONLY way the Greeks could win the Trojan war… so this was a big deal! When Paris cowered in defeat, the Trojan War officially started, and Achilles bravely led warriors into the bloody battle.

10 years of war go by!

Odysseus & the Trojan Horse Odysseus originated idea of the Trojan horse His army built a large wooden horse and hid Odysseus, Achilles, & members of his army inside. The Greeks offered it to the Trojans as a sign of their surrender and the Trojans accepted the gift and brought it inside the walls of their city. In the night, Odysseus and his men crept out, unlocked the gates of the city, and the battle began. Troy was defeated handily.

End of the War When Achilles was struck in the ACHILLES… …by PARIS…….. That was a major bum-bum-bahhh moment. THIS STORY tracks the journey of Odysseus back home to his wife and son… after a 10 year war in Troy.
