This detail from the text shows Odysseus' resolution because
this is the nal event of the journey. Odysseus makes up with
Penelopes after being away so long, and now begins to rebuild
his kingdom alongside his wife and son.

This detail from the text displays the status quo because after
the journey, things have changed, and Odysseus moves on
with his life with his wife and family. It's not the same as
before he left, his journey has changed him and his life, even
though his wife is still with him, his life has completely
changed.

Odysseus is home now, nally reunited with his family, Homer

discusses his new life, by stating, "Now from his breast into his
eyes the ache of longing mounted, and he wept at last, his
dear wife, clear and faithful, in his arms" (Homer 81-83).

Odysseus defeats all of the suitors, and shows his attempt to

test Penelope, when Homer states, "With this she tried him to
the breaking point, and he turned on her in a ash raging"
(Homer 31-32).
This detail from the text show Odysseus' new life of his
journey because the journey has hardened him and has made
him different than he was before. Odysseus now is able to kill
all the suitors with ease, and take back his kingdom, having
become stronger than before the Trojan War.
Once Odysseus returns home and lays his eyes on the suitors,
Homer states, "While he had arrows he aimed and shot, and
every shot brought down one of his huddling enemies" (Homer
118-120).
This detail from the text shows Odysseus' return in his Hero's
Journey because Odysseus comes back to Ithaka, leaving his
special world of battles and his journey behind. Odysseus, the
hero, returns to the ordinary world of his kingdom, away from
the special world of his journey.
After Odysseus has come back to Ithaka, in Book 21, Homer
discusses how Odysseus meets the suitors when he states,
"Odysseus observes the suitors and nds that two
inparticular, Antinous and Eurymachus, are rude and
demanding."
This detail from the text shows how the result occurs for
Odysseus because with all his trials and dif culties from his
journey, has resulted in this: his return home.
After Odysseus has been rowed from Thinakia, in Book 17,
Homer recaps how Odysseus had gone back home when he
states, "When he awakens, he fails to recognize his homeland
until Athena appears and tells him that he is indeed home."
This detail from the text shows Odysseus receiving his
treasure on his hero's journey because all he ever wanted to
do after the Trojan War was return home. Through all the
setbacks and dif culties that was still his main goal, now after
going through his trials and crisis, he can get his treasure,
returning home.
After Odysseus nishes his tale of his journey to King Alkinoos,
in Book 17, Homer recaps how Odysseus returned home, when
he states, "King Alcinous and his friends send Odysseus on
hisway home. Odysseus sleeps while the rowers bring him to
Ithaca."
These details from the text showthe approach step of the
hero's journey in the Odyssey because Odysseus must face the
worst beasts he has ever had before. Not only is his life in
danger, but so is the life of his crew, with monsters lurking
everywhere throughout the rest of their journey.
Before allowing Odsseus to leave her island, Circe warns him
of the danger of the sirens, when she states, "...the Sirens will
sing his mind away on their sweet meadow lolling. There are
bones of dead men rotting in a pile beside them and ayed
skins shrivel around the spot" (Homer 9-12).
Before Odysseus departs for Ithaka, Circe recaps the dangers
of the monsters when she states, "she takes, from every ship,
one man for every gullet. The opposite point seems more a
tongue of land youd touch with a good bowshot, at the
narrows.
A great wild g, a shaggy mass of leaves, grows on it, and
Charybdis lurks below to swallow down the dark sea tide"
(Homer 56-63).
This detail from the text displays the crisis of the journey
because Odysseus is currently at his lowest point, with his
hopes of living out his sweet days at home dwindling. He's on
the brink of despair, with no hope, Odysseus is at his darkest
hour.
After Odysseus has been blown away from Helios' island,
Homer states, "[He found] Odysseus in his stone seat to
seaward-tear and tear brimming his eyes. The sweet days of
his lifetime were running out..." (Homer 77-80).
These details from the text display the trials Odysseus must
face because it shows the dif culties he had to face
throughout his journey, from having to escape Cyclopes and
Laestrygonians to evading mind control and forgetting their
mission. These were the dif culties Odysseus had to combat
when going on his journey.
After landing on a mysterious island occupied by
Laestrygonians, Odysseus states, "He seized one man and tore
him on the spot, making a meal of him; the other two
leaped out of doors and ran to join the ships" (Homer 124-126).
Having helped Odysseus at rst, Aiolos commands, "'Take
yourself out of this island, creeping thing
no law, no wisdom, lays it on me now to help a man the
blessed gods detest on his journey.
out! Your voyage here was cursed by heaven!" (Homer 77-80).

The King of Ithaka, Odysseus is called upon by the other Greek

(Homer 137-139).
