What are the characteristics of an odyssey?
An odyssey is a long and adventurous journey such as the return of Odysseus from the Trojan War, often with the additional idea of a search for an intellectual or spiritual goal. The most famous odyssey story of modern times is Ulysses (the Latin name for Odysseus) by James Joyce in which Leopold Bloom (Ulysses) wanders through the streets of Dublin for a whole day having a series of meetings and adventures before returning home to his wife Molly.
What has had the biggest influence on the route Odysseus takes home?
Shortly after leaving Troy on his way home Odysseus has a run in with the Cyclops Poylphemus - who wants to eat most of Odysseus' crew. Odysseus isn't happy about this, he plays a trick on Polyphemus which ends up with Polyphemus blind and Odysseus escaping with most of his crew uneaten. The trouble is: Polyphemus is the son of Poseidon, and Poseidon is the god of the ocean. If you are plannning a major sea voyage, it is a good idea not to annoy the god of the ocean before you start. The god of the ocean can make big trouble for people on ships. Poseidon is the biggest influence on the route Odysseus takes home - Poseidon doesn't want Odysseus to arrive, and does everything in his power to make things difficult for him. If you are a god of the ocean, and the chap you don't like is on a ship - there is a lot you can do to annoy him.
What is the origin of stuck between a rock and a hard place?
Maybe it is connected with the Odyssey when Odysseus is lost on the way home and finds himself in a particular narrow pass where he has to make a decision as to which side he is going to steer his crew towards. On one side is the six headed, man eating monster Scylla and on the other is the whirlpool Charybdis which will lead to certain death. So there between the two narrow cliff faces he has that difficult choice to make. Who knows? That's what it makes me think of anyway...... Google Isaiah 43
Where did the term Trojan horse virus come from?
The term, Trojan horse, comes from Homer's Iliad, which tells of the Trojan War. To defeat the enemy, Odysseus and his men build a giant wooden horse, place it in front of Troy's gates and hide inside. The Trojans accept the gift as a sign of surrender bring it inside their walls. They celebrate and get drunk. At night, when the town was asleep, Odysseus and his men come out from inside the horse. They open the city gates to let in more Greek troops and then destroy the city of Troy, winning the war.
What is the summary of the fall of troy?
Eris (goddess of discord) crashed the wedding of Thetis and Pelleus because she wasn't invited. She rolled a golden apple inscribed with something like "to the most beautiful goddess." into the crowd of gods and goddesses. Athena, Hera, and Aphrodite wanted the apple. They asked Zeus to decide who could have the apple, therefore being the most beautiful. But he said, "Hell no! Let a mortal decide." So it was that Paris, a Prince of Troy, was chosen. Hera offered him political power, Athena offered him military glory, Aphrodite offered him the hand of the most beautiful woman. Being a guy, Paris chose Aphrodite's deal and gave her the apple. But he didn't cash in on his deal just then. It was only when Paris met Helen (and although it's unsure whether Paris wooed Helen and brought her to Troy, or he snatched her unwilling, Helen ended up in Troy.) did he take up the deal. Helen was King Menelaus's wife, a Greek king of Sparta and brother to Agamemnon (the most powerful king in Greece). Rightfully, Menelaus' was mad that his wife was stolen; he goes to his brother Agamemnon. "Let's wage war!" SOO the Greeks sail over and fight with the Trojans for 10 years. The Trojan walls are impenetrable. The Greeks decide to let it be known they are leaving, when they are in actuality sailing to a nearby island. They leave a large wooden horse, which the Trojans accept as a token of victory. Everyone's heard the story of how the horse is hollow and Greek soldiers, including Odysseus await inside. The soldiers spring when they're least expecting it, and open the gates to Troy, letting in the rest of their army that has arrived back on Troy's shore.
