Odyssey Character Chart


You will be responsible for knowing the importance of each of the following characters. As we watch the film, make note of adjectives to describe each character, as well as their relationship(s) to one another.


As you read Books 9, 10, 12, 21, 22, and 23 pay special attention to the epithets (or nicknames) that Homer uses to describe each character. Write these epithets into the chart, with page numbers. These epithets often provide a strong indication of the most vital aspects of the character's internal motivations.
