Odyssey Analysis

This is my current stand--everyone's input in class was helpful in arriving at this. If you don't agree comment. Or you can comment and say how brilliant it is.

Protagonist: Odysseus
Antagonist: Poseidon
Inciting Incident: putting out Polyphemus's eye (and Odysseus taking credit for it by giving his
name
Conflict: Poseidon trying to keep Odysseus from going home
Climax: Reuniting with Penelope after killing the suitors
Denouement: Odysseus making self known to Laertes; Athena ordering Ithacans to live at
peace
Thesis: Proverbs 16:18--Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.
(After defeating Polyphemus, Odysseus proclaimed his name to Polyphemus 5:558-562.
After defeating suitors, he wisely tells Eurycleia not to lift a cry of triumph and that it's
unholy to glory over the bodies of the dead. 22:430-444
