Odysseus as the Epic Hero

I. Introduction - In Homer's The Odyssey the tale of a man's journey back home after long years at war is also the tale of a man's spiritual journey through his own soul.

II. The beginning - Odysseus leaves Troy feeling almost immortal and this pride is what leads to his downfall and second rise.

III. The middle - Odysseus undergoes his symbolic death and rebirth.

IV. The end - Odysseus has regained power over his household and has restored order to his life.

In Homer's The Odyssey, the tale of a man's journey home after long years at war, is also the tale of a man's spiritual journey through his own soul. Odysseus' role as an epic hero is modified throughout the epic poem. As Odysseus leaves Troy for home, he is the typical bloodthirsty warrior. During the course of his trek, he undergoes a symbolic death and rebirth. Upon his arrival in Ithaka, the wiser man he has become is evident. The Odyssey is Odysseus' story of his journey not only from Troy to Ithaka, but also from bloodthirsty warrior to epic hero.
