They are similar, but each reflects the values of the culture in which they were composed.
Yes.
The culture in which Homer's Odyssey was composed did not value chivalry in the way that the culture in which the Percival myths were created did.

Both the myth of Percival and the myth of Odysseus are quests or tales of adventure Why is there not a strong component of chivalry in Homer's Odyssey as there is in the myths of Percival?
The lack of a strong component of chivalry in Homer's Odyssey is mainly due to the differing cultural contexts of the myths. Chivalry, with its emphasis on knightly virtues such as honor, loyalty, and bravery, was a key feature of medieval European literature, which influenced the legend of Percival. In contrast, the Odyssey was composed in ancient Greece, where values such as cunning intelligence, resourcefulness, and loyalty to family were more emphasized, reflecting the cultural ideals of that time.
