Omitted to mention that Odysseus’s old dog Argus recognised him immediately.
Man's best friend. 😁
That is one old dog
In summary, everyone does not recognize Odysseus at first
😂
This is sure helpful when your AP English Teacher assigns a translated version of the Odyssey to read in two weeks and you haven't been keeping up and you continue to procrastinate until the day before you have to write a short essay in class based on three topics the teacher will reveal on that day and you have to read 200+ pages and still need to watch that night's episode of The Walking Dead. Man, this saved me.
same
Yeah i did that and got caught for plagiarism because i followed it too closely.
I know right I have to read this and watch the walking dead.
sexy
Matthew Kyle how did you get into an AP English class, man?

There was also 2 recognition scenes between Odysseus dog, Argus, and his nurse, Eurycleia. When Argus sees Odysseus who's in disguise, the dog still recognises Odysseus. Argus, after finally being reunited with his owner 20 years later, dies from old age. Odysseus sheds a tear.
Next, he goes to the palace. Penelope offers him a servent to look after him as part of Xenia, and Odysseus asks specifically for Eurycleia. When Eurycleia pours his bath and bathes him, she remarks how much he reminds her of Odysseus. She then finds a scar on Odysseus' leg, a scar caused by a boar when he was young, and Eurycleia realises who he is. Odysseus has to threaten her to keep his identity a secret so that he can take revenge on the suitors.
Odysseus- "I am your father."
Telemachus- "No! That's not true! That's impossible!"

As a college student who has to read the odyssey. Thank god for spark notes and cliff notes! Why I have to read the odyssey to get my degree in buisness management I do not know.
You guys are the only reason I’m passing my honors 9th grade lit class
FINALLY! I have been struggling to even get past the first page of the story, much less follow it until I watched these videos! Thank you guys so much, I was seriously having hard time reading this stupid story, I can't thank you enough! Now I can uphold my A in English Class! (:
You should have tried to read it even if you didn't understand at first i find it to be much more rewarding in the end.
You do a really good job summarizing these stories.
These videos are awesome! I really needed a summary like this for my examen in Ancient Greek culture :)
this beats reading the book and reading the long sparknotes
Facts
I'm glad that he didn't forget to mention Philoeteus the cowherd. I also like how Laertes looks like he's ready to go on a safari.
Thank you so much for this! I am having so much trouble reading the book and can't understand it but this helps a lot!
You guys might have just saved my life
Thanks for explaining this in an interesting way! Your videos are a lifesaver for my exams❤

I WOULD TOTALLY LIKE TO SEE THIS FIGHT SCENE!!!!
Thank you! :)

In summary, this random thing happened, and you just move forward. That random thing happens, and you just move forward. Life.
As Odysseus recounts his 20 year story to his wife in bed, he tells all the details of all the women/goddesses he has slept with before he finally screws her.
Sending love and support from Massachusetts College of Art & Design ✌️😂
Thanks so much
sooooooooooo much easier than reading the book
Headphone users: R.I.P
(B'cuz of the intro)
Thank you
yes, nice vidio.I get the knowledge from it.
great!!!!!!!
@SkiFantic I'm actually watching this after I've already read the Odyssey for my college lit class, but I have to do a project on it. I'm using this to review. Not everyone uses tools like this to cheat and be lazy.
Odysseus is a boss
You are now done!!
Two weeks?!?!?! I spent months reading it, and I thought my Ancient Greek wasn't that bad! Okay, I haven't been translating all day every day, but two weeks.... that's extreme!
Athena is so helpful
@CameraCrewExtras Much easier to stay awake listening to this then reading the thing
I'm using this to review for my final...
athena sure likes to appear as male.. XP
+Axan Naxa Well she was made from a part of Zues' brain. Therefore she has the brain of a male. :)
+geekgoddess2.0 How do you explain Aphrodite's qualities then?
Gods don't REALLY have a sex
It's because during this time she would not be trusted as much as she is if she was female.
@@KaitheKnightly no wonder shes smart
well i guess i have to worship this video
Thx I knew nothing about the odyssey and I have to righ a essay about it and now I know
Me too.
Do u live in Oklahoma
Nope. Washington state not D.C.
Ahhh I thought it might be a state test or something. Do you have to talk it for finals? Cause I do
No I don't have to take it for Finals Just a big paper, test and other little things here and there for L.A. 9.
We all know the story of the Odyssey but did you know that there's a sequel to the Odyssey called the Telegony?
What happens is that after Odysseus leaves Circe to go on his quest, what happened was that Odysseus left Circe with a son named Telegenous. Telegenous was sent by his mother, Circe, to go find his father. Circe gave him a poisonous spear to defend himself. After traveling for a while, Telegenous was forced to dock on shore because of a storm, however he did not know that he was docked in Ithica, the homeplace of his father. And because he didn't know where he was, and that he needed supplies, Telegenous decided to steal some nearby cattle. After seeing somebody stealing his cows, Odysseus ran to face Telegenous and fight him, not knowing thats his son, and after fighting, Telegenous accidentally kills Odysseus with his poisoned spear. After Telegenous knew that he killed his father, He brought his dead body back to Aeaea along with Telemachus and Penelope. Telegenous buries Odysseus on the island and then after that, Penelope decides to marry Telegenous and Telemachus marries Circe.
the hell?
This is book XIII- XXIV (book 13 through 24) there are 24 books total
yeah, this is also part 3.
The man Laertes killed at the end was Antinoös's father Eupeithês
Only on chapter 5 but thanks :D
damn i have to read the 384 pages of homers Odyssey, but i still prefer the book, but i like this one :))
3:54 the spear going through the guy in the far right.
This is sooo much better than reading the Odyssey. The book is so boring. At least, this video makes it somewhat interesting...
When did argos come in?
what does he need to do to please poseidon???
Killing all the servant girls? Harsh...
He didn't kill all of them, the story said he killed the disloyal ones. But still this is greek/roman mythology so a lot of things are harsh.
Thank sparknotes! I don't get anything about Odyssey
Can you make a video on James Joyce's Ulysses please?
please also try the Persian epic poem which are very beautiful and they have very different and amazing stores. It is called Shahnameh
So thus ends thy story of Odysseues.
THIS TOOK A WHILE....
where was this when I had that odyssey text
3:03 penelope is a derp
5:.40 no "fuzz"!
Yah!
3:00 derp Penelope.
zOMG this took forEVER
Why do they kill the suitors? Don't understand it tbh
+Justin L For revenge. Odysseus is mad that the guys have been hanging out at his house and trying to marry his wife.
cblw14 still not that understandable, tbh
Yeah, it's literature hoping to excite. It's a little extreme
Because rumors had passed that they said Odyesseus was dead after the Trojan War.
Since Odyesseus left, suitors tried to ask Penelope to marry them.
But Penelope doesnt like one of them.
In order to delay her decision to whom she will pick.Penelope said that she will need to finish weaving for Laertes Shroud Burial..
But 4 years has passed, still Penelope has not yet decided.
The suitors angered and still wandering..
Athena instructed Thelemacus to organize a meeting for the suitors.Then he should sail to the kings of the Achaeans and Sparta.
King Nestor in Pylos and King Menelaus.
Athena warned if one them or two of them denied that his father is dead.He must put a grave and allow his mother marry one of her suitors.But if one told him his alive, he should embark his journey to find his father.
Only the king of Sparta Menelaus knew his father was.Menelaus said that his father was trapped on an island and was forced to stay for 8 years.But because of the Zues pity.Athen guided him to return to his homeland. Then recognized the suitors in his house.
He was instructed to compete for an arrow contest.The first one to straightly shoot the arrow the the axes arrows will win the heart of Penelope.
Odyesseus won, but he started to shoot the suitors and started killing one of them.One of the servants tried to give the weapons to the suitors but they were still no match for the servants and obviously Odyesseus.
Then you know the rest that happened...
antinus is the head suitor and odysseus shoots him in the neck with an arrow
I think my teacher is great, but this is better lol
What about aleolus? You know, the wind guy?
Yeah, I also thought that Odysseus gets a hoof thrown at him, not a chair, but I'm not sure
spoiler* Odysseus woke up and it was all a dream
What about Argos?
damn
the only reason i passed english 1H
Ulysses is a crazy person.
I am. ;-)
I wonder why Athena has to help Odysseus so much
She probably chose to as a goddess of war given all the war he had been through
Upload a video on illiad too
@CameraCrewExtras Better than reading the whole thing hehe
@HeedfulGibbon hahahaha I know exactly what you mean.
Adv English 9 we have to write the equivalent of eight pages about the book and we have a quiz on it I read the whole thing in two days
Quiz tomorrow! ... Actually today lol
awesome!!!!!!! Like if you are a latin student!
The language you are speaking in wouldn't exist if it were not for latin.
Uncultured swine
