The Odyssey analytical paragraphs redo #3

3. In the story The Odyssey, Telemachus does many great things. However, I would not say he is a hero. One reason he is not a hero is that Telemachus never refuses the call to adventure. Right away in book 1 he shows his confidence in himself and psychologically trains for his journey. He never even considers saying no to this adventure. Heros are supposed to say no at first but then accept the challenge later on, but Telemachus doesn't do this. Another reason Telemachus is not a hero is that he is never given any respect. In book 1 the suitors who are freeloading at his house do not listen to him or consider him important at all. He threatens the suitors by saying they will be massacred if they are in his house when Odysseus arrives, but when he says this the suitors just laugh at him. If Telemachus was a hero, he would receive much more respect from the people around him.
4. Odysseus, The main character in The Odyssey, is a hero. One reason he can be considered a hero is because he leads his soldiers with strong authority. In book 1 when he must leave the island he has been on for many years, his soldiers never complain or disobey him. They listen to his every command.
A second reason why Odysseus can be considered a hero because he has Supernatural guides that help him along the way. in books I and II, Athena helps Odysseus and gives him hope in reaching Athens safely. Also in other parts of the book he is given Ultimate boons such as the bag of wind that help him reach home.

Another reason Telemachus is not a hero is that he is never given the freedom to live. In books I and II, Telemachus is not given any respect. The men who are freeloading at his house do not listen to him or consider him important at all. They also make fun of him when he says he wants to go on the journey to find his father. If Telemachus was a hero he would be given a great amount of respect. He would also be encouraged to go on his journey, not made fun of.

Analytical paragraph number 3

3. Based on the elements of the Hero's journey and the events that have happened so far in The Odyssey, I do not think that Telemachus is a hero. One reason he is not a hero is that he does not refuse the call to go on the journey to find his father. Most heros refuse the calling at first. Another reason he is not a hero is that he has no supernatural powers given to him. So far in the story he has not ran into any gods that help him along the way. Most heros have some sort of supernatural power or guide that helps them on their journey. Those are two reasons why I do not think Telemachus is a hero.
