In your answer, discuss at least two poor examples of xenia and two excellent examples of xenia, analyzing why they are poor or excellent examples according to Greek values. Poor Examples of Xenia: -When they reach the cyclops, some are killed and eaten. If someone is visiting you, you should not trap and attempt to eat them. -When Odysseus is at Calypso's island, she will not let him leave. This is bad Xenia because you should let your guest leave when they wish. Excellent Examples of Xenia: -When they were at Aeolus, they were kind and gave him gifts. -Telemachus shows good xenia towards Odysseus in disguise before he realizes that the man is his father. Compare and contrast the definition of hero from the Greek epic and modern society and decide if Odysseus should be considered a hero in either culture. In your answer, include a definition for the epic hero as well as examples from The Odyssey to support your opinion on whether or not Odysseus meets the requirements. Then create your own definition for what modern society considers heroic and determine if Odysseus should be a hero, using examples from The Odyssey. I think in the book, he is a hero. A hero defined in the book is someone who usually goes on a long journey and shows glory and revenge. You see him in a lot of different situations, and you see him grow as a character. He goes through a lot of trouble and pain to get to his family. The journey had taken him 10 years to accomplish and it was not the easiest journey. In the end, he and his son killed all of the suitors who were invading their home. Although I may believe he is a hero according to the definition of hero described in the book, I do not think he would be considered a hero in modern society. Our definition of hero today is someone who risks their life to save others. We usually picture them as a superhero or even a soldier. Common people can also be seen as heroes. I do not think that Odysseus matches that standard because most of his journey is for himself and his family. A hero today sacrifices for strangers.
