I am stunned...

Odysseus has a way to surprise the author (or Homer). He has such cruel methods of teaching the sinister right from wrong. For instance, later in the book Odysseus gets angry and overwhelmed with the fact that maids are with suitors who offend him deeply. He gets angry at them by killing them all in one room, single handedly. He then orders the women who were with the suitors to wipe up the bloody mess, and then kills these women. I see Odysseus in a smaller light, because of what he had done. What the suitors and women did was wrong. But how Odysseus reacted frightened me into thinking how he would treat his family or friends he was angry at that degree
Also this quote by Mother Teresa reminds me of the Odyssey in away.
Life is an opportunity, benefit from it
Life is a dream, realize it.
Life is a challenge, meet it.
Life is a duty, complete it.
Life is a game, play it.
Life is a promise, fulfill it.
Life is sorrow, overcome it.
Life is a song, sing it.
Life is a struggle, accept it.
Life is a tragedy, confron it.
Life is an adventure. dare it.
Life is luck, make it,
Life is too precious, do not destroy it.
Life is life, fight for it.
