<span>It was on such an island in the third summer of its yellow green that we built our watch fire. Not in the thicket of dancing willow wands, but on the level terrace of fine sand which has been added that spring a little new bit of world beautifully ridged with ripple marks and strewn with the tiny skeletons of turtles and fish all as white and dry as if they had been expertly cured. We had been careful not to mar the freshness of the place although we often swam to it on summer evenings and lay on the sand to rest.</span>
The of the most important women in The Odyssey were Athena, Kalypso and Penelope.
1- Athena is the goddess of wisdom, war and justice. She comes in and saves the day whenever she sees fit, but without letting her followers know much of what her ultimate plan is. For her, blood-shedding is necessary sometimes. However, we see her preventing excessive death for the sake of real justice. Her strength is demonstrated not only in her supernatural abilities, but also in her control of the situation and how much involved she becomes in them.
2- Kalypso is another goddess of an island in the middle of the sea, surrounded by her all-female maid entourage. She holds Odysseus captive for 7 years as her sex slave because of her desperate need for affection. Her strength is demonstrated in her will at having to let go of Odysseus by Zeus's command. Although she loves him, and wants him to be her eternal husband by making him immortal, she understands that he has to go and lets him do so.
3- Last but not least, Penelope. Her ultimate strength is demonstrated by her determination to wait for her beloved husband for such a long time. Even when the times got difficult and her life and well-being were at risk when the suitors took over, she still believed that Odysseus would return for her, and loved him more by the day.
4- We could infer that the presence of strong women in this poem, and many others from greek mythology, could mean the possibility for people to rise above the expectations other people have from them by using their power. These are examples of divine and human powerful women, who share that much in common.
Among the differences, we can mention the origin of each one, the social position, and the abilities. Among the similarities, we can mention courage, nobility, wealth, honor, and leadership capacity.
We can arrive at this answer because:
- Each of the heroes has a different background. Beowulf has Anglo-Saxon origins, Sundiata has origins in the Mali Empire and Sinbad has origins in the Middle East.
- Everyone's social status is also different. Beowulf is a prince, as is Sundiata, however, Simbad is a sailor.
- Lastly, they have different abilities. Beowulf is very strong, as is Simbad, but Sundiata has intelligence as his greatest skill.
However, the three have many similarities, the greatest of which is courage, as they all face the challenges necessary to save themselves and protect those in need. All have noble characteristics, have wealth, and are great leaders.
