Everyone on the boat is scared and frightened. We?ve lost so many crew members and can?t afford to lose anymore. There are only 10 of us remaining out of the 100?s of men we started this voyage with. After a few minutes pass we feel the waves splashing harder and the roar of the thunder getting louder.

The narrator of the Odyssey invokes the Muse, asking for inspiration as he prepares to tell the story of Odysseus. The story begins ten years after the end of the Trojan War, the subject of the Iliad. All of the Greek heroes except Odysseus have returned home. Odysseus languishes on the remote island Ogygia with the goddess Calypso, who has fallen in love with him and refuses to let him leave. Meanwhile, a mob of suitors is devouring his estate in Ithaca and courting his wife, Penelope, in hopes of taking over his kingdom. His son, Telemachus, an infant when Odysseus left but now a young man, is helpless to stop them. He has resigned himself to the likelihood that his father is dead.
The Judgment of Paris
Subject:
The Judgment of Paris
Eris= the goddess of Discord. She was disliked and excluded by the other gods. King Peleus and Thetis (a sea nymph) were getting married, and Eris wasn’t invited. So Eris rolled an apple marked “For the Fairest” into the banquet hall. Zeus wouldn’t chose between Aphrodite, Hera, and Athena- he told them to go to Mount Ida and to let Paris (a.k.a. Alexander) decide. Paris was living with Oenone, a nymph, and working as a shepherd because his father Priam had heard that Paris was to destroy Troy.
In exchange for the apple, Hera offered Paris Europe and Asia. Athena offered Paris a Trojan victory over the Greeks. Aphrodite offered Paris the fairest woman in the world. Aphrodite got the apple, and the Trojan War began.
