Teachings Of Christ And The Odyssey
[ send me this paper ]
The world of Homer's Odyssey was
ruled by a conglomerate of Gods who saw little need to assess human

hope for a better reality. This 5 page paper attempts to compare the
teachings of Christ in Matthew with the behavior of Odysseus as
presented in The Odyssey. No additional sources are listed.
Bibliography lists 7 sources.
