Odysseus, the genius that he is (not), messed up first and foremost, by letting his curiosity getting the best of him, and maybe stealing some cheese. I still can't fathom why Odysseus thought it was a good idea to break into a cyclops's cave, to steal some cheese, and then expect to be given a gift for showing up, but I don't blame Polyphemus for eating a few of his men. Then, he got the cyclops drunk, and blinded him, because Odysseus just couldn't sneak away whilst Polyphemus was asleep. This invoked the wrath of Poseidon, who was literally the cyclops's dad, only bringing his men into further danger. Did I mention that he taunted Polyphemus as he left? Because he did, against the wishes of his men. Odysseus just really wanted boulders thrown at him, didn't he?
Depicted here is Odysseus, the Greek King of Ithaca, great-grandson of Hermes, hero , and winner of the Trojan war. Today we will be talking about his struggles in his leadership abilities, on his 10 year journey home from the war of Troy.
Intro:
note: I used the wrong character for Odysseus. oops. Here's the real one.
Odysseus may have had (somewhat) honorable goals, but he failed to be a good leader to his men. Along his journey home, he expressed arrogance, carelessness, pride, dishonesty, and stubbornness. This resulted in the deaths of his entire crew, or 12 ships of men, equaling to over 600 men. Great job, Odysseus. You should celebrate with your.. oh...
