BRAIN POWER! Group 2 Megan Fairgrieve, Rachel Geffrey, Collin Liss, Ryan Walsh

Quote 1 from The Odyssey “‘See now what the bold man did and dared in the Wooden Horse, where we all were hidden […]. Three times [Helen] walked all round our hiding-place, […] calling out the names of the best men in the army, mimicking the voice of each man’s wife! […] Both [Diomedes and I] wanted to jump up and get out, or answer from within; but Odysseus prevented us and kept us back […] and saved the whole nation’” (Homer 50). -Menelaos

Significance  The quotation on the previous slide has the king of Sparta talking about the praiseworthy things that Odysseus did at the end of the Trojan war. Menelaos, like others, recognizes what Odysseus has accomplished using his brain.  It was Odysseus who came up with the brilliant idea of the Trojan horse. The Trojan horse allowed the Greeks to have a great victory, and afterwards Odysseus is celebrated and praised for his intelligence as well as his skill in battle. To accurately play Odysseus, you will need to show that balance between intelligence and strength in battle.  The plan involving the Trojan horse was not all about brute strength and force. It was all about strategy.

Quote 2 from The Odyssey “At last, when the wine had got into his head, I said to him in the gentlest of tones: ‘Cyclops, do you ask me my name? Well, I will tell you […] Noman is my name; Noman is what mother and father call me and all my friends’ “ (Homer 107). -Odysseus “‘O my friends, Noman is killing me […].’” “‘Well, if no man is using force, […] there’s no help[…]’” (Homer 108). - Polyphemos conversing with his brothers

Significance  The quotation in the previous slide shows part of Odysseus’s ingenious plan to escape from the Cyclops. Polyphemos. Odysseus then blinds Polyphemos, and none of the monster’s brothers help him because he says that “No man” has harmed him. Odysseus probably could have killed the Cyclops, but he and his men needed Polyphemos alive to escape the cave.  Odysseus and his remaining men survived this situation because Odysseus used his intelligence to come up with a good plan. If he had relied only on strength, he would have been trapped in the cave.  When acting, it is important to show that it was Odysseus’s cleverness, not his strength alone, that saved him and his friends.
