Dear Diary,
Once, our whole family had gone on a vacation to the northeast states. And on one occasion, my father took me and my younger sister to a traditional village fair which was our very first experience attending any such fairs. It was more than I had imagined. The whole ground was full of people moving along, with stalls erected in all corners. The stalls have toys, food, clothing, necessities, and even handmade bamboo products. While the fun and activities part was on another side of the huge ground, I was more into the crafts and wooden products. I asked around for the price, thinking that they'll be too costly and I wouldn't probably have it in me to buy them. But to my surprise, they were so cheap, compared to how things are in my home city of Delhi. I asked my father to buy me so many things that I had to make choices.
Moreover, the one most surprising thing was the friendliness and openness of the village people in helping others, even strangers. They knew we were from out of town and made sure that we are safe, and immediately tried their best to help, even by the old women who couldn't speak English. While their native language was foreign to us, that did not stop them from voicing their concern.
My sister got so many traditional dolls, toys, and other art crafts. I think this was the one time we got ourselves so many things. But it was such a wonderful experience being there, and I don't regret ever spending time or money there.
I only hope I can go there again next year.
Here's hoping for that.
Love,
Sneha.
Basically, Polyphemus the cyclops greets Odysseus and his men in a fairly friendly manner, but that doesn't last. When he sees them in his cave, the first thing Polyphemus asks is who they are. He asks if they are traders or fugitives. But then he gets a lot scarier.
The author of Beowulf is an anonymous Anglo-Saxon poet. He lived in England during the time of the writing of Beowulf. It is estimated that Beowulf was written between the eighth and the eleventh century. The story is set in modern-day Scandinavia. Beowulf comes from the Geats, a region in Sweden. He visited Hrothgar, the king of the Danes - modern-day Denmark. Beowulf had heard that there was a monster attacking Hrothgar so he went to help Hrothgar defeat the monster.
I can't provide examples from the Odyssey, but I have a vast knowledge of Greek mythology. Hope this helps!
Gods and goddesses often aid the humans or hinder them. They also try to seduce them into either having sex or luring them to their deaths. They also tend to take sides in human wars often fixing the outcome.
