Destiny, Fate and Free Will in Homers Odyssey - Odysseusââ¬â¢s Fulfills Hi
Odysseuss Fulfills his Destiny in The Odyssey During Odysseuss journey in The Odyssey, his own guile, the gods obstacles and their assistant for him affected his destiny. Odysseus uses his crafty sense of trickery and guile to get go forth of situations, which allow him to reach his destiny of returning home. Many times in The Odyssey the gods who nauseate Odysseus set obstacles to try to stop him from returning home. However, at that place are gods who favor him and give him assistance to reach his homeland of Ithaca.     Odysseus found himself in some dangerous situations during his journey but he was clever seemly to think of ways to escape them. For example, when he encountered Polyphemus, Odysseus tricked him when he told the Cyclops his arouse was Noman.  After Polyphemus believed him and was stabbed in the eye, not knowing any better called off to his friends, Noman is murdering me by craft. Force there is none (87). Odysseus power over his antagonist is once again confirmed by his wit more than by physical force. Although this sense of guile is at his enemys expense, there exists a touch of dramatic irony that helps the reader to take snap off in knowing something that Odysseus enemy doesnt know.     To get his way with Calypso, Odysseus flatters her to twine her to free him from captivity. Odysseus sweet-talks Calypso and then states his destiny when he says, Powerful goddess, do not be wroth at what I say. Full salubrious I know that heedful Penelope, compared with you, is poor to look upon in aggrandisement and beauty for she is human, but you are an immortal, young forever. Yet even so, I wish-yes, every twenty-four hours I long-to travel home and see my day of coming (49). Odysseus day of coming stands for hi... ...other of this Scylla, who bore her a bane to humankind she will restrain her from a second onset (116). Odysseus has to stop sentiment that fighting always works. It is best to run and take th e easy and safety way out when he is fighting a more sizable being than himself.     Odysseus own guile, the gods obstacles, and their assistance for him are all factors that affected his need during his journey. His guile to make difficult situations seem simple became very clever in escaping the dangerous times and allowed him to move further in his odyssey. The gods who dislike him sent storms or traps in their attempts to c simpleness and stop Odysseus journey home. The gods who clear of Odysseus return home, for instance Athena, Hermes, and Circe, assisted him in many ways to ease his way home to his home in Ithaca and to fulfill his destiny.
