Teachings Of Christ And The Odyssey
[ send me this essay ]
The world of Homer's Odyssey was
ruled by a conglomerate of Gods who saw little need to assess human

entertainment. Jesus, on the other hand, took on the 'mortal coil' in
order to teach, to bring to mankind both instructions on conduct and
hope for a better reality. This 5 page paper attempts to compare the
teachings of Christ in Matthew with the behavior of Odysseus as
presented in The Odyssey. No additional sources are listed.
Bibliography lists 7 sources.
