Option 3: Collections:  the lotus eaters

  I might have made it safely home, that time,

but … the current

took me out to sea…

Nine days I drifted on the teeming sea

….we came to the coastline of the Lotus Eaters,

who live upon that flower. We landed there

to take on water. …

Then I sent out two… men and a runner

to learn what race of men that land sustained.

They fell in, soon enough, with Lotus Eaters,

who showed no will to do us harm, only

offering the sweet Lotus to our friends

but those who ate this honeyed plant, the Lotus,

never cared …to return:

they longed to stay forever…. forgetful of their homeland.

I drove them, all …, to the ships,

tied them down under their rowing benches,

….and we moved out again on our sea faring.

1.         What do you think the sweet Lotus is? How do you know this?

2.         What is Odysseus forced to do to his men? Why do you think he does this?

3.         Do you believe Odysseus does the right thing? Why?

4.         Based on your knowledge of current events, how would you describe the effects lotus plant?

Option 3: Collections: Odysseus In The Iliad

   "Oh man! You can't count how many good things Odysseus has done for the Greeks, a real leader in council and in battle...." This is how the Greek troops at Troy describe Odysseus in Homer's Iliad. Often described as "wily" or "cunning", Odysseus stands out among even the Greek heroes at Troy, whether in battle or in council.

   Though he is known for his cleverness, Odysseus demonstrates (shows) that he is a great fighter on the plains of Troy. Though he is no Achilles (greatest warrior of all) or Ajax (great warrior), he still demonstrates his valor numerous (many) times. As a favorite of Athena, goddess of war, few enemies who antagonize (mess with) him live to tell the tale. Though Zeus grants (allows) the Trojans the better of the fighting for much of the Iliad… Odysseus seldom (rarely) fails to stand out among the Greeks against the oncoming Trojans, refusing to yield until seriously wounded. He is also crucial in convincing the troops not to pack up and head for home after Agamemnon (King of the Greeks) fails to rouse their fighting spirit to attack after the false dream Zeus sent him.

Task: Read the following statements, agree Yes or No, then explain why, and give evidence from the text.

1.      Statement: Odysseus only fights when he has to.

A.      Your reason for Yes or No:
