To whom did Odysseus start telling his adventures?

Odysseus reaches the land of the Phaeacians and their kind king, Alcinoüs. The king’s daughter, Nausicaä, finds Odysseus, naked and filthy from sleeping on the ground, and leads him to the king. Received warmly, Odysseus tells the story of his wanderings.


Why does Alcinous start the games in the Odyssey?

In Homer's "Odyssey," Alcinous organizes the games to honor Odysseus after he reveals his identity and recounts his adventures. The games serve as a celebration of athletic prowess and foster camaraderie among the Phaeacians, showcasing their cultural values. Additionally, they provide a fitting tribute to Odysseus, allowing him to demonstrate his own skills and earn respect among the Phaeacians before his return home.


How many men does Odysseus start out with?

86 men and 12 ships.


What role did the Gods play in The Odyssey's struggle to get home?

They played a very significant role in this epic. They had supernatural powers and where there to help mortals and give their pity. For example, Athena assisted Odyesseus thorugh his journey and helped him arrange his plans to return to Ithaca. She watched his every step and guided him on his voyage. SHe also helped Telemakhos step out of his shadow and start his journey to manhood. She sets and example of an intelligent, sophisticated woman and can be regarded as an example of our modern women today. While, Circe and Calypso also helped Odysseus by providing him with information and advice before he took off towards his homeland. There is a god that is against Odysseus, Poseidon. He makes Odysseus's journey hard after Odysseus blinds the Cyclops. So the Gods can be looked on in both ways. Calypso does not help Odysseus; she goes against Zeus' will by holding captive him there on her island. Yes, they are lovers, but he is not happy there. She actually holds him captive there for seven years, and that by far is going against Zeus' hospitality rule.


How long has Telemachus been gone?

Telemachus has been away from home for about a year. In Homer's "Odyssey," he embarks on a journey to find news of his father, Odysseus, who has been missing for many years. His departure occurs shortly after the start of the epic, as he seeks to gain wisdom and assert his place in the world.
