Essay Option Consider Part 2 of the Odyssey as a set of problems and solutions. After being gone for twenty years, Odysseus has a number of problems to deal with when he returns to Ithaca. Identify three problems Odysseus faces. Explain how he solved each problem and describe the consequences of his actions.

Essay Option In literature, as in life, people must decide from among alternative courses of action. Select an example from the Odyssey in which the story might have ended differently if a character had acted differently. Cite examples to support your speculation.

Essay Option Homer’s Odyssey has been described as a timeless success because of its profound expression of the triumph and frustration of human life. It is not only a story of a heroic battle but also of people’s advice, questions, requests, hopes, and desires. Discuss how The Odyssey expresses the “triumph and frustration of human life.”

Essay Option The character and actions of Penelope reflect ideas about the ideal woman in early Greek society. For example, she was expected to maintain her loyalty to her husband in the most difficult circumstances. Discuss some other aspects of the woman’s role as exemplified by Penelope. Then compare and contrast the woman’s role in early Greek society with that of today’s society.

Essay Option As an epic hero, Odysseus embodies qualities valued by his society. Do you think Odysseus meets our society’s expectations of a hero? Develop an argument about whether or not the actions of Odysseus are compatible with contemporary American values. Support your argument with examples from the Odyssey.

Essay Option Epic heroes are figures of larger-than-life stature who exemplify character traits valued by their societies. It has been said that although Odysseus is one of the greatest of Greek epic heroes, he is not perfect; he has flaws and makes mistakes. Do you agree or disagree with this statement? Explain your position, supporting it with examples from the selection.
