THE PRE-READING NOTES OF THE ODYSSEY THAT I FIRST GOT WERE MYTH* WHICH WAS TRADITIONAL STORY OF POSSIBLE HISTORICAL EVENTS WITH ROOTS & RELIGION,MYTH OF ORGIN* IS 1.EARTH/SHY/SUN 2.NATURAL WORLD, 3.MAN/WOMAN/ANIMAL, 4. GODS/GODESSES, 5. SUPER-NATURAL ACCURRENCE. THE TRAJEDY* WAS A OFTEN A "TRUE STORY" DESIGNED TO EXPLAIN THE HOPELESSNESS OF HUMAN EXISTANCE.(DEATH) THE COMEDY* A FICTIONAL STORY DESIGNED TO EXPLAIN THE HOLPFULNESS. (LIFE) THE EPIC A LONG NARRATIVE POEN OR HEROES WHO IN SOME WAY EMBODY THE VALUES OF THEIR CIVILIZATIONS/CULTURE. THE ODYSSEY*IS A LONG WONDERING VOYAGE USUALLY MARKED BY MANY CHANGES OF FORTUNE, AN INTELECTUAL/SPIRATUAL. ALSO THE ODYSSEY CAME BACK AFTER 20 YEARS! SO EVERYBODY THOUGHT HE WAS DEAD AND MESSED AROUND WITH HIS SON.
