Odysseus the only mortal to conquer and defy all odds against him, no matter what came his way. To go home to his wife and son. Poseidon and many others told Odysseus that he would not return home and that he would be left with nothing and no direction. and in the end he was right when he said to the gods “See, gods of sea and sky, I have conquered Troy, I Odysseus, a mortal man of flesh and blood, bone and mind. I don't need you now, I can do anything” The separation in which the hero is dragged out of his home, family or life. For Odysseus the separation occurs when he is called by Agamemnon and Menelaus to help him in the defeat of Troy. They tell him that there is a war between Greece and Troy. He asks them to let him stay with his wife and newborn son so he can watch him grow up and teach him how to be a man. So they refuse his request and tell him it's mandatory. Odysseus must help bring Troy to ruin with himself and his soldiers. He spent much of ten years fighting the Trojans fighting alongside Achilles. When Achilles dies and everyone loses hope. He then promotes the idea of entering the walls of Troy to paralyze them and conquer the city overnight. The call is the invitation or bekan to an adventure for the hero. The call is better than either party. it begins with when Agamemnon and Menelaus visit his house and tell him that he will come to Troy and join the battle and defeat the Trojans. He then leaves home to help in the battle against Troy. Shortly after the battle he goes into the ocean and shouts to the gods that everything he has done he did alone. He doesn't need help from the gods. Then Poseidon's face emerges from the ocean waves and asks Odysseus “What… middle of paper… son he hasn't seen since he was just a baby. He had remembered how a man's world is more beautiful than any other. Ulysses realizes how much his life before the war meant to him rather than leaving. Odysseus left Ithaca on command of the warriors for the battle of Troy. When he left his kingdom along with his wife and newborn child, he didn't realize how much they really meant to them as he returned. Odysseus spent twenty years sailing trying to get home only for his wife and son, he had gone to hell and coming back destroyed what were once his own allies. When he lay in bed with his wife, he then knew how much more beautiful and better his world was than anything he had witnessed. Odysseus' journey is truly a great example of how far a man will go just to be able to look his wife and son in the eye again..
