The Odyssey

The Odyssey

Tuesday, December 7, 2010

    There are six archetypes: the Orphan, the Wanderer, the Warrior, the Altruist, the Innocent, and the Magician. http://cyberspacerobinson.net/courses/literature/greatbooks/gb12010fall/gb1units/identity.html 

Most of these Odysseus himself portrays as some point or another. 


    Odysseus goes through different phases and emotions throughout his journey which causes his current archetype to change. Throughout most of the story Odysseus seems to be the Wanderer, independent and self reliant. This often causes him to need become the Warrior, a strategic workaholic in order to get him out of the situation he’s put himself in.
