The Odyssey of Odysseus
Storyboard Text
- Calypso's Island
- Odysseus needs to continue his voyage home.
- City of Cicones
- ATTACK!!!!
- Lotus Eaters
- You fools. Do you want to lose all hope for home?
- Just eat the flowers
- Odysseus is stuck on Calypso's island, seven years after he fought in the trojan war. Athena asks her dad, Zeus, to get Odysseus back home and Zeus sends Hermes who then tells Odysseus and Calypso that Odysseus has to continue his odyssey.
- Polyphemus' Cave
- Odysseus and his men raid the city of the Cicones. Later six benches of Odysseus' men are lost because they got greedy and decided to stay in the town. There, the Cicones revolted and killed them. Odysseus and most of his men escaped. Zeus got angry at Odysseus for killing the Cicones and put him off course by sending a storm.
- Leaving the Cyclops Island
- No Odysseus, Don't tell him your name!!!!
- Odysseus and his men find themselves on an island. Odysseus sends out two scouts to see if the natives were friendly. All the natives wanted was for their guests to eat a flower called the lotus. We call these people the lotus-eaters. When Odysseus's men ate the flowers they lost all hope for getting back home.
- Prayer To Poseidon
- Father Poseidon, please let Odysseus never see his home and have all his crewmen die along the way.
- After the lotus-eaters, they come to the shore of the giant cyclops (Polyphemus). They do some fibbing to Polyphemus and end up having him drink ambrosia and nectar. They then heated up a giant stake or spear made from a giant log and stabbed Polyphemus' eye. Before this, they hid the spear in a giant pile of poo. Odysseus also says that his name is Nohbdy to confuse the other cyclopes.
- My name is Nohbdy
- ARHH!!!
- Odysseus manages to escape with six of his twelve men that he explored the island with. He comes up with the idea to hang on the bottom of the sheep and goats so when Polyphemus opened the massive stone door, they could sneakily escape. When the cyclops find out that Odysseus escaped he throws a hill at them (or giant rock).
- My actual name is Odysseus and I am the son of laertes.
- After Polyphemus throws the hill, Odysseus tells the cyclops his real name which dooms the crew. He told him to sustain a legacy. He also tells him who he is the son of. Polyphemus sends a prayer to Poseidon (cyclops's father) to make Odysseus never return home but if he does, his home life won't be to his liking, and that Odysseus' crewmates will all die when going home.
