Answer #1

The Odyssey is a book mainly about a man named Odisious [I think that’s how to spell it]. If you’ve ever seen the move “Oh Brother Where Art Thou”, that movie is based on the book. In the book, Odisious leaves to kill the gorgon, Medusa. Along the way he runs into many obsticles. I haven’t read the book in forever, but the movie I have seen recently. I can give you who would be what, then just watch the movie and you pretty much know the book. Just different names. Odisious would be the guy played by George Clooney. Odisious’ Wife, Penelone, is called Penny in the movie. The one eyed cyclopse is Big Dan [A bible seller]. The sirens are the three girls by the river that sing. The man wanting to steal Odisious’ wife is called Waldrip in the movie. The old profit is the blind man working on the railroad.

Goodluck on your test =3 The movie is pretty much the same as the book, just different names. My teacher showed us the movie when we learned about the book. It’s really helpful =3

Hope all that helps =3 ~Britt xx
