Task Three: Activities for Homer's Odyssey
Read through the Homer Study Guide and all of the Activities
below before making your selection. Make a copy of the

Activity question to begin your response. Upload your Activity
here. Title your entry, "Activity 3." These Activity entries must
be thoughtful; each one should be the equivalent of at least a
full typed page or more in length (e.g. not less than 250
words). They may be longer if you need to say more on your
topic. You will not be able to do these Activity entries properly
unless you have carefully read the assigned literature.
· Athena is Odysseus' patron deity; he is her favorite human
being. Look at some of the scenes in the Odyssey where they
interact and describe their relationship in some detail, giving
specific examples from more than one book of the Odyssey.
· Look at the various warnings about what Clytemnestra did to
Agamemnon, especially in Books XI and XXIV (the underworld
scenes. Then review the dangers and violence of Odysseus'
homecoming, and think about how Odysseus approached
Penelope and how he hanged the traitorous serving girls (Book
XXII). Do you think Homer's audience accepted that the girls
deserved to be killed? How do you feel about the scene
personally? Does it give you any insights into the concepts of
right and wrong in Homer's day and how those concepts might
be different than in our time? Give specific examples from more
than one book in the Odyssey to support your ideas.
· List several of the women, mortal and divine in the Odyssey
and write a brief description of each one. Finally, write a
paragraph or two summing up Homer's ideas about the roles of
women in the Odyssey--what they are like and how they are
treated.
· Later civilizations disapproved of Homer because "he told lies
about the gods." Look in the Odyssey for some of these "lies."
List and describe several of them. Do you think Homer actually
believed in gods such as he sang about? If so, do you think he

was being impious to his gods? Why or why not? Support your
position with specific examples from the Odyssey.
· Why does Odysseus go to Hades and what does he learn there?
Go into plenty of detail, using specific examples from Book 11
to support your ideas.
· Compare Odysseus to a modern hero. The modern hero may be
a fighter, a ruler, a leader, or an athlete; he may be real or
fictional. Write a brief biography of each hero, looking at the
specifics of his family life, beliefs, friendships, activities,
heroic behaviors, etc. Then, explain how each hero affects the
society he lives in and how people feel about him. Finally, what
are the most interesting differences between your two heroes
and so what?
· Go to Bronze Age Images. Look through the various images
and select three that might actually have existed in the world of
the Odyssey. Describe each image and explain exactly where in
the Odyssey you would expect to find it, who would use it, own
it, live in it, etc., and what you could learn about the Odyssey
from seeing the image. Support your ideas with specific
examples from the Odyssey and from the images.
· Go to the Homer Web Site and look at several images of the
Trojan War. Select three which deal with the events of the
Odyssey. Describe each image and compare it to the
corresponding scene in the Odyssey. How has the artist
interpreted the characters, events, etc.? Do you agree with the
artist's interpretation? Why or why not? Explain using specific
examples to support your points.
· Go to the Homer Web Site and scroll down to the section on
the Troy Cycle. Look at the list of Troy epics and the characters
and plot of the overall Troy Cycle to get a feeling for the
mythic context of the Odyssey. Now think about the relations of

gods and humans in the Odyssey. Select two interesting scenes
where gods and humans interact. Describe each scene in some
detail and explain its role in the overall story. Do you think
these gods were any more or less real to Homer than the heroes?
Why or why not? Support your ideas with specific examples
from the Odyssey.
· Go to Bulfinch's Mythology and look up the stories of two or
three major gods and/or heroes from the Odyssey. Now select
one or more specific scenes in the Odyssey that can be better
understood after reading about the characters' mythological
roles. Explain the way the mythology helps you to understand
each scene, using specific details from both Bullfinch and the
Odyssey to support your ideas.
· Review the scenes in Hades in Books 11 and 24 of the
Odyssey. What can you learn about Homer's conception of life
after death from reading them? Use specific examples to support
your insights.
· Odysseus has relationships with a number of women. List
these women and then compare how he relates to different ones.
Be sure to include Kirke (a witch) and Nausicaa (a nice young
princess) in your list. Can you learn anything about Odysseus
from how he relates to these different women? Use specific
examples from the story to support your points.
· Pick the character in the Odyssey that you think is the most
"monstrous" and explain just what you find monstrous about
him/her/it, and why. Be sure to use specific, detailed examples
from the story to support your discussion.
· Odysseus survives many ordeals that kill his men, such as the
Kyklops, Skylla and Charybdis, and the final shipwreck.
Discuss Odysseus as a leader of his men. Why do you think he
survives while his followers do not? Support your discussion

with examples from the story.
· Look at Book 1 of the Odyssey, where Athena and Zeus
discuss human behavior, Odysseus, and justice. Now look at the
Book of Job, where God and Satan arrange to test Job to satisfy
Satan's cynical curiosity about Job's goodness. Compare divine
attitudes toward human beings in Job and in The Odyssey,
noting what similarities there are, if any, and what differences.
Support your observations with specific examples from both
narratives.
· Samuel Butler and Robert Graves both believed that the
Odyssey had been written by a woman. Robert Graves wrote a
novel, Homer's Daughter, about Nausicaa, the woman who
composed the Odyssey. Get a copy of this novel, read it, and
then write an essay explaining whether or not you agree that a
woman could have written the Odyssey. Support your ideas with
plenty of examples from both the novel and the Odyssey.
· One of the themes explored in The Odyssey is that of the
passage from adolescence to adulthood. Construct a character
analysis of Telemachus with careful consideration of his
development from boy to man. Consider the role of Athena
(Mentor) in this development as well as the effects of his
father's long absence.

literature/the-epic-of-gilgamesh/the-epic-of-gilgamesh-read-the-
excerpt/Links to an external site.
Select the Activity question you wish to respond to. Make a
copy of the question to begin your Activity. Post your response
here to Gilgamesh Task 3. Please title your response
"Gilgamesh Task 3." If you choose the Double Credit option,
you must indicate that at the top of your essay and you must
develop your ideas and supports substantially more fully than
for a single credit Activity.
1) 0riginally, Enkidu was part animal and part man. Discuss
how the harlot transformed Enkidu into a human being by first
seducing him and then luring him to civilization. Develop your
ideas by referring to specific incidents in the story.
2) As he lies dying, Enkidu curses the harlot, and then revokes
his curse and blesses her. Do you think he was better off in his
natural, animal, state, or as a civilized man? Support your
opinion with specific examples from the story.
3) Underworlds are generally places of the dead, and/or of
underground divinities. These places are dangerous and difficult
for living persons to enter and hard to leave. Why does
Gilgamesh go to the underworld, and what does he learn there?
Use specific examples from the story to support your main
points.
4) There are actually TWO underworlds in the story of
Gilgamesh: 1) the underworld that Gilgamesh visits seeking
immortality and 2) the terrible underworld of death that Enkidu
sees in a vision as he is dying. Examine each underworld
closely and then try to explain why you think there are two such
different "underworlds" in this ancient story. Do they have

different purposes? Is one only for immortals? Use plenty of
specific examples from both underworlds to support your ideas.
5) Both Gilgamesh and Enkidu slay Humbaba and the Bull of
Heaven, yet the gods decide that Enkidu is the one who must
die. Why? Support your argument with specific examples from
the story, looking closely at the differences between gods and
human beings.
6) There are a number of dreams in the story of Gilgamesh. List
them and then explain what roles they play in the story. Use
specific examples from the story to support your ideas. Be sure
to look at the way Gilgamesh's mother and Enkidu interpret
Gilgamesh's dreams. How is this different from the way people
interpret dreams now?
7) Compare the characters of Gilgamesh and Enkidu. Who was
the more heroic? Why? Begin with an explanation of what YOU
consider heroic and see if it is similar to what is considered
heroic in the story. Support your argument with plenty of
specific examples from the story.
8) Gilgamesh and Enkidu's greatest adventures are against
monstrous primary forces of nature: Humbaba and the Bull of
the Sun, which are creatures of the gods. Discuss the role of
monstrous creatures in Gilgamesh and pay attention to their
close connections to the gods. Support your discussion with
specific examples from the story.
9) Make a list of all of the female characters in Gilgamesh.
Write a brief description of each and what she does in the story.
Can you get any general ideas about the roles of women in
ancient Sumeria from this? Explain, using specific examples
from the story.
10) Review Utnapishtim's story of the flood. What does
Gilgamesh learn from this story about the nature of human
beings and of the gods? Do you think there is a sense of divine
justice for human beings here or not? Explain using specific
examples from the story to support your ideas.
11) Although Gilgamesh wants to live forever, he cannot even
stay awake for seven days, as Utnapishtim proves by having his

wife bake seven loaves of bread while Gilgamesh sleeps. What
is the point of this episode? What does Utnapishtim teach
Gilgamesh about immortality? Would anyone really want this
kind of immortality? Support your answers using specific
examples from the story to support your ideas.
12) When Enkidu dies, Gilgamesh nearly goes mad with grief.
He sits by the body until it begins to decay, he puts on the skins
of animals (such as Enkidu probably once wore), and he
searches the wilderness and the underworld for the secret of
immortality. Do you think this is because of his love for Enkidu
and his desire to bring him back, or do you think this is because
Gilgamesh has finally recognized his own mortality and is
terrified? Support your answer with specific examples from the
text.
13) Double Credit (if thoroughly done): Read Steppenwolf by
Hermann Hesse. This modern (1927) German novel tells the
anguished story of a man (Harry Haller) who perceives himself
as part educated bourgeois man and part wolf. He longs for the
far away gods (embodied for him primarily in the immortal
characters of Goethe and Mozart), but he can get no happiness
out of daily life because of the intense conflict between his two
selves. He must go on a journey through fantasy and death in
order to come to understand himself and realize that there is
really no conflict between his animal and human natures. Your
task is to compare/contrast this novel with the story of the
man/beast, the man/god, and the role of death in human life in
Gilgamesh. The concepts are remarkably similar in these two
stories thousands of years apart.
Module 1: Research
Post an article or You tube video that taught you something new
about Gilgamesh. Be sure to
explain why you chose it.

As you watched the video and read the excerpt, what stood out
for you about the story of Gilgamesh? Would you consider him
a tragic hero? Why do you think this story has survived since
the time of the Sumerians when other stories from that time
period have not?
