This image is intriguing because it depicts how odyssey describes himself and the cyclops in Odyssey 9. In the story, he makes Polyphemus seem inhuman and out of this world. Meanwhile, Odysseus describes himself as a hero and a brave man.

"No more. Come, let me tell you about the voyage fraught with hardship Zeus inflicted on me..."
"No more. Come, let me tell you about the voyage fraught with hardship Zeus inflicted on me..."
Odyssey Book 9: Line 42
This quote is interesting, from the beginning of the story Odysseus blames the gods specifically Zeus for his troubles. Later on, we see he inserts himself in situations where he causes problems and has negative results. Rather than reflecting on his actions or realizing he is wrong, he is quick to blame Zeus and others for his wrongs.
In this image, you can see the pridefulness of the Odyssey after taunting and invading Polyphemus. This image has illustrated the scene well and can see the position the crew has been out in and the situation going on between Odysseus and Polyphemus.

This website will be a positive environment and will be used to show my ideas and opinions on the books and topics discussed in Humanities Core. This is also a different way of expression and creativity revolving around worldbuilding. As of now, I am at the beginning stage as a collector of materials, I am learning about what worldbuilding is and how it can be used. In the future, I plan to be a more experienced and knowledgeable collector of ideas and materials.
