THe Odyssey
The Odyssey By, TheresaThis movie, The Odyssey wasn't what I call great but it was okay. Odysseus was the main character and he was the king of Ithica. His wife was Penelope. They had a son named Telemachus. Odysseus had to fight in the Trojan War. Of course Ithica won but the only reason why is because they came up with the idea of the Trojan Horse. Poseidon had got mad at Odysseus and put a curse on him. Odysseus had many great adventures. One was that he went to a island ruled by Circe. Circe put a spell on some of his men that made them turn into animals. Before that they found their selves on an island of the Cyclops. A couple of men were killed but they escaped. Back to Circe, she put a spell on the men and Odysseus went to her home . Before he got to her home the god's messenger, Hermes gave a special poison to Odysseus so he could with stand her spell. She tricked them by making five years seem like five days. He met two creatures, the Silla and the Ceripdus. He lost his men as well as his boat. He found his self at Calypso's island for about a year or so. Hermes told Calypso that if she doesn't let him go she would have to deal with Zeus. When she let him go he found his way home with the help of Poseidon. Overall, this is one of the most goriest movies I've seen. My favorite character is Circe because she has the power to change people into animals.
