3 the odyssey, despite it’s ancient age, still holds a remarkable amount of relevancy, as it preaches some of the most fundamental lessons that hold up to this day. these messages, more or less simple ideas, of commemoration and the destructive trait of arrogance are still important to know. Today we live in a world of heavy self-interest, where status and power are desired more than ever. we see a lot characters throughout the text that exhibit hubris but in particular the suitors who want the title of king, display the lesson precisely. they clash with each other for the spot and frighten penelope. in the resolution, odysseus slays them for doing killing elpenor, the most disrespectful first.
