There are a few things that are off in this summary. For instance: hen the gods are on Mt Olympus determining that poor Odysseus, whom they all like, should be allowed to return home, Poseidon doesn't agree to let Odysseus off of Calypso's island because he is outnumbered in opinion; He isn't even there - he's off in Egypt enjoying a big party and sacrifices. That's why they decided to deal with the problem of Odysseus at that time. If you do this without reading the material, you will get some stuff wrong.
Yes. Zeus does tell Athene that since Poseidon isn't there and they're united to see Odysseus home, Poseidon couldn't speak out against them. I think that's what was meant here.
@@Seven-_Shadows Yeah so there's this thing about time right. Every moment and day that passes, time like, continues. So if enough days pass it could add up to years.
Didn’t think I’d ever get to the point where I have to read the entirety of the odyssey in less than two weeks cause I was to lazy to do it weekly and have to do 3 assignments and a test on it. Thanks sparknotes for saving my English grade
OMG.. i read the book.. and i was so confused because... i dont rlly know why.. BUTT. seeing the pictures and just hearing another person talk to me.. made everything like.. simplle and easy to understand.. YESSHH THANK YOU SPARKNOTEESSS
i’m going to the #1 private highschool in the state of wisconsin on scholarship and somehow my brain cannot understand the book so i’m watching this😭 thank you so much this helped a lot
So just watching this over and over a few times instead of wasting my time actually reading the book! I fall asleep about 10 minutes after I try to read it every time.
Let me just say, for all of you guys stressing about this for finals and stuff, PLEASE go back later and read the book at your own pace. It truly is a great book, and i dont even like reading that much
Odyssius spends "10 years "fighting at the battle of Troy. He spends another "10years"to reach his country ithaca. Me seeing this video after "10 years".
i only have like 2 days left to read this book and the one i got was the last one that was messed up and im too lazy too read 200 pages over 2 days so this helps me a lot
I'm commenting today, 20tieth Jan 2023. had started Learning English literature as a whole/ completely although Greek and roman mythology included. Wish me good luck. I'll be back in a year to see the improvement in myself after gathering all the Required knowledge.
um.... i remember the story being Athena helping him and giving him clues as well as his cunning. and um.... Poseidon wasn't just mad at him for blinding his son... it was also for not giving him the credit for the horse trick. if someone else remembers this please let me know because now I'm confused.
I'm writing about the Odyssey as part of an English assignment and my laptop decided to f up right when I have to Start so now I have to do it by hand and cause I haven't had time to do I'm only starting now at 10:30pm on a Sunday night. And it's due tomorrow second period IM SCREAMING 😩.
seeing comments from 8 years ago stressing about finals is so funny because now i'm here doing the same thing
Lol, same
@Zavier Greene there is nothing to be confused of. Just read the summary twice or watch this video you will get to know all about it
@Zavier Greenethen what else do you want to know? maybe I could help
power pfp pog
@@tejas........ ayyyee :D
"And they go back to Calypsos cave, where they make love" Perfect ending to a video, ten outta ten.
👍👍👍👍
Soooo....the son just dies and he doesn’t go back???
*Penelope disapproves*
dId hE foRgeT hE haS A wIfe!?
thank you I have a test tomorrow and this made is so much easier
Just out of curiosity are you in connections?
nope(:
Anime Fangirl Vocaloid Lover sorry i forgot to add you lol but nope(:
Sarah Smith
Haha kay xD I'm in connections and we had a huge essay thing over it so I didn't know lol.
Lauryn Kashino Yeah? Does that mean youre in connections as well? I finished mine, I think I got like 95/100 on it.
Those greek gods clearly had nothing better to do but obsess over humans :)
Pretty much. I'm pretty sure that problems in greek myths are caused because the gods threw a hissyfit because a human was better than them -_-
Yeah I am pretty awesome.
Shane1.11 Brown719-206-253 what are you talking about?
I mean, im no god, but i obsess about humans. When i see a decently trashy reality tv show, i eat that up

Hello fellow students worrying about their future right now
Hello
Many thanks to Spark Note.
So just watching this over and over a few times instead of wasting my time actually reading the book! I fall asleep about 10 minutes after I try to read it every time.
One of my favorite episodes of _Arthur_ was an homage to this one. 🙂
This saved me for finals
80% of us watching this cuz of exam or assignment
Yas
I'm subscribing, you guys are awesome! Save a lot of time instead of reading and getting myself headaches. Thanks a lot, appreciate it!!
My English teacher is so utterly incompetent; I learned more about the story in this 6 minute video than she's taught us all year.
Haha same my teacher makes no sense when it comes to this.
D'oh
I got a freaking final exam essay to do in 15 hours.
Chris Conrad me too but it’s three years later
Chloe Marie good luck!
bruh i’ve watched the video like twice and can’t understand shit. can u like summarize with ur own words it would mean lots
Same, except it's three years later after you lol
@@edwardcortez6662 Do good on this exam for me
Telemachus is ten years old when this story takes place...
Twenty. The Trojan War took 10 years and Odysseus is 10 years late.
@@deathbysvent but telemachus was still an infant when the trojan war started ....
This sparknotes are so useful to have a glympse of this books. I really appreciate this; thanx for bothering
Hows life
all these names 😵💫
"and they go back to Calypso's cave where they make love" ha! cx
this saved my life i have a project to turn in tommorow and was so confused but tthis helped so much!!
Hard to believe that this video is 10 years old.
Wish I had this during my school years!
However reading the original is a must! Otherwise you'll forget all the stuff in a few days.
What about the part with Circe
this video is in 3 parts, the part with circe is in the second video
could have used this at the beginning of the year...
It's so much better than having to actually read it.
No because the plot is completely changed
Let me just say, for all of you guys stressing about this for finals and stuff, PLEASE go back later and read the book at your own pace. It truly is a great book, and i dont even like reading that much
Thank god for spark notes!!!! Now I don't have to read like 20 chapters like I should have bees doing for english!! Thanks
I love sparknotes!
This has some differences from the version I read in school
this makes my life a thousand times easier!
