Slide 1: 

Revenge & Justice in The Odyssey Bri D., Tim P., Jess S., Kenton L., Ally Z.

Revenge : 

Revenge “getting back at someone for a wrong they committed, but is normally only for the good of an individual” http://img1.fantasticfiction.co.uk/images/n0/n642.jpg

Examples of Revenge in The Odyssey : 

Examples of Revenge in The Odyssey Odysseus wanted to avenge the death of his crew members, so he blinded Polyphemos. Polyphemos, in return, prays to his father Poseidon that Odysseus goes through many hardships along his journey. http://riverdaughter.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/polyphemus2-37171.jpg

Slide 4: 

2. Because the Phaicians helped Odysseus arrive home, Poseidon turned their boat to stone. This is an example of revenge because Poseidon did it for his own benefit. http://www.j-m-w-turner.co.uk/images/Odysseus_Deriding_Polyphemus.jpg

Slide 5: 

3. Odysseus and Telemachos got revenge on the suitors by killing them all because the suitors disrespected Odysseus’ household. This revenge caused massive chaos in Ithaca. http://www.glogster.com/media/1/4/10/67/4106761.jpg

Justice : 

Justice “giving someone what they deserve, and is usually for the good of society because it keeps order among the people” http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jEVvQZkqYa8/Sbgy-Zr1s1I/AAAAAAAAAhM/Hmwyy2GMfqI/s400/Bowl_of_Hygeia_and_serpent_and_scales.jpg

Examples of Justice in The Odyssey : 

Examples of Justice in The Odyssey Agamemnon was justfied by his son Orestes when Orestes killed Aegisthos. This can be considered justice because Orestes’ only intention was to honor his father. http://www.stanford.edu/~plomio/orestes.JPG

Slide 8: 

2. Telemachos displayed justice by honoring his father and staying in charge of the household. He stood his ground and did not let the suitors take over. http://www.freewebs.com/odysseyapostolides2008/Book1.jpg

Slide 9: 

3. For cheating on him, Hephaistos embarrased Aphrodite by chaining her and Ares to a bed in front of the gods. This is justified because he only taught them a lesson, he did not hurt them. http://personal.monm.edu/lmccann/indpro3.jpg

Slide 10: 

4. Odysseus’ crew ate the cows that they found on Helios’ island. Zeus justified this action by creating a storm which prevented them from leaving the island. http://www.badassoftheweek.com/odysseus-sirens.jpg
