NOTE: Your major unit grade will be structured around your ability to apply the concept of archetype to Homer’s Odyssey.
Consider the following two quotes:
Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is brave five minutes longer.”
Nelson Mandela once said: “I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.”
Considering the message of these two quotes, how do they relate to The Odyssey,Odysseus, and the Heroic Archetype as a whole? Do they relate? Why/why not?
