The Odyssey

A detailed Summary of The Odyssey


"The man of my dreams, wow! I wonder what he will be like. Oh why does Athena fill such thoughts into my head? What if I never get married? Or maybe her dream was a sign saying soon I will meet the man I am to marry. Oh I could only hope that is what it is. Wow to be married, I can't wait. I will know the minute I lay eyes on him that he is the man I am to marry."

Nausikaa is very excited about her dream the night before. She is perplexed. So she asks her father and mother if it would be ok to go wash her wedding clothes, and they say yes. Now Nausikaa has the whole day to dream about her husband to be, and she is very excited. She heads towards the water to wash her clothes and stumbles upon Odysseus.

"Oh why do my servants run, look at this beautiful being. For sure he is the man that is meant for me. Oh Athena thank you, this is the most wonderful gift I have ever gotten. Look at his muscles and his body. Oh no, he is coming towards me, what do I say, I can't sound stupid, what if he thinks I am stupid. Oh no oh no what to do?"

She stands there wondering what do as Odysseus approaches her, and she becomes very excited and f


Oh I am exhausted, and tomorrow I will lose my love. I suppose this means you are not answering me. Athena it is all I beg of you. Before tomorrow at dawn please give me some reasoning for what you are doing. At least then I may give my love a proper farewell. It is what he deserves. It is what I want. I just want to know, because if I do not then I will not accept the fact that he is leaving me. If I know I will be able to sleep well. Goodnight Athena, please take my request in to consideration."

They approach the village, and Nausikaa prays that her father will not hate this man named Odysseus. As they approached her father becomes curious. He was hopeful that her prayers had finally been answered, and surely this man was to be her husband.

With that Odysseus headed off once more on his journeys. He did think twice about Nausikaa but he longed for his Penelope. He thought Nausikaa was a wonderful girl, and of course she saved his life, but he couldn't wait to return to his family. To see his beautiful wife Penelope. However after Odysseus journeys to the land of Nausikaa, Nausikaa was never again the same. She was determined to marry Odysseus. She thought for sure he was her true love, and there was no other for her. After awhile it got to be too much for her to handle. Her thoughts became crowded and they drove her mad.
