Topic
While The Odyssey details the trials and tribulations Odysseus faces on his journey to return home to Ithaca, he is not the only character who undertakes a journey. For this essay prompt, consider the role that journeys play for the other members of Odysseus’ immediate family, Telemachus and Penelope. Think beyond the traditionally accepted definition of a journey—travel from one place to a new destination—and explain what we learn about his son and wife throughout the epic. Think about the journeys each of them make and explain which one you think has the most difficult journey. Be sure to use specific examples and/or quotations from the text.

Journey in the Odyssey
The odyssey storyline focuses on the return of Odysseus to his homeland Ithaca twenty years after having left behind his wife and infant son. The storyline is mainly on the struggles that Odyssey faces and the Obstacles that delay his returning home after every other survivor of the war at Troy had returned home. In the beginning, he spent years locked by goddess Calypso who wants him to be her husband. After release, the goddess Poseidon also wretches his boat making his journey even more difficult. When he gets to Ithaca, the journey to his house is even worsened by the fact that suitors consider him dead and want to marry his wife and takeover his household (Homer). Odysseus’s journey to his home Ithaca is presented as a literal movement from one place to another, but it also denotes the emotional and identity journey through not only Odysseus but his wife Penelope and his son Prince Telemachus.
