AEOLUS, KING OF THE WINDS

TEIRESIAS THE PROPHET

ODYSSEUS & THE PHAEACIANS

ITHACA

Throughout his long journey, Odysseus had many

grueling experiences. He met people, creatures and characters that hindered

him and/or aided him.

His is a truly great story. The wonderful thing about it, though, is that, if we look close enough, we can see that Odysseus’s journey is

every human being’s journey.

We have our own personal versions of the Lotus-eaters,

Polyphemus, the Laestrygonians, the Sirens,

Circe, Calypso, Scylla & Charybdis -- those that gave

difficulty and pain unto our lives.

However, there are also those like Aeolus, Nausicaa, Teiresias, Athena, Ino,

Eumaues and Eurcleia – people/events that helped

shape us and make us grow into better people.

We also have our own personal Ithaca – that

place, position or state that gives us true happiness,

makes us feel fulfillment, or makes us feel at home.

MY ITHACA

!!! REMEMBER !!!

-Throughout his journeys, all kinds of thing were thrown at Odysseus - to stop him. However, he NEVER stopped. He NEVER gave up. He was UNSTOPPABLE. He was INVINCIBLE.

FROM William ernest henley

“It matters not how strait the gate; How charged with punishments the scroll; I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soul.”
