From the Invocation: Part 1 of Homer’s Odyssey“But not by will or by valor could he

(Odysseus) save them (his men), and he (Odysseus) weathered many bitter days and nights in his deep heart at sea, while he fought only to save his life.”

A rocky isle, but good for a boy’s training.”

Larger than life figures from history or legend who are epic literature’s (specifically epic poetry) central characters. These characters undertake long and dangerous voyages while demonstrating traits such as courage, loyalty, and honor that are valued by the society from which the work of literature originates.


Both the Illiad and the Odyssey are examples of this genre of literature.

These are long narrative poems that tell the story of the deeds of gods or heroes. These works are elevated in style and usually follow certain patterns. The poet or bard usually begins by asking a muse – one of the beautiful nine black-haired daughters of Zeus -- for help.


The HangoverStep BrothersThis is the End

A literary work, typically a film or a play, written to amuse audiences. These works show characters that are in conflict with society. Plot twists that involve misunderstandings, deceptions, and concealed identities are typical of this genre of literature.


Wily temptressesEpic HeroesKnights in Shining ArmorEarth MothersFaithful WivesVillains and Traitors

A character type that crosses time, cultures, societies, languages or other barriers – a prototype or model from which all things of the same kind are copied.


Script or words in a literary work spoken by characters or actors.

“You are a ninny, or else you come from the other end of nowhere, telling me, mind the gods! We Cyclopes care not a whistle for your thundering Zeus or all the gods in bliss; we have more force by far.”

Polyphemus, mighty Cyclops, son of Poseidon

"OFF THERE to the right--somewhere--is a large island," said Whitney." It's rather a mystery--"

"What island is it?" Rainsford asked.

"The old charts call it `Ship-Trap Island,"' Whitney replied." A suggestive name, isn't it? Sailors have a curious dread of the place. I don't know why. Some superstition--"

"Can't see it," remarked Rainsford, trying to peer through the dank tropical night that was palpable as it pressed its thick warm blackness in upon the yacht.

"You've good eyes," said Whitney, with a laugh," and I've seen you pick off a moose moving in the brown fall bush at four hundred yards, but even you can't see four miles or so through a moonless Caribbean night."

"Nor four yards," admitted Rainsford. "Ugh! It's like moist black velvet."

"It will be light enough in Rio," promised Whitney. "We should make it in a few days. I hope the jaguar guns have come from Purdey's. We should have some good hunting up the Amazon. Great sport, hunting."


A feeling or emotion created by the choice of words, the characters and their actions, and the setting. Imagery is often used to create this in a literary work.

“By night our ship ran onward toward the Ocean’s bourne, the realm and region of the Men of Winter, hidden in mist and cloud. Never the flaming eye of Helios lights on those men at morning … ruinous night being rove over those wretches …”


There is nothing so strong or safe in an emergency of life as the simple truth.

Charles Dickens

A central message, idea, or truth found in a literary work. It refers to a universal statement about life and/or society that can be discerned from a text.


Encompasses the author’s attitude toward the subject and toward the audience implied in a literary work. This may be formal, informal, solemn, somber, playful, serious, ironic, condescending, or many other possible attitudes. Each piece of literature has at least one theme, or central question about a topic, and how the author approaches this theme within the literary work is known as this literary device.

“And the trees all died. They were orange trees. I don’t know why they died; they just died. Something wrong with the soil possibly or maybe the stuff we got from the nursery wasn’t the best. We complained about it. So we’ve got thirty kids there, each kid had his or her own little tree to plant and we’ve got these thirty dead trees. All these kids looking at these little brown sticks, it was depressing.”

And of (the memory of) the midnight picnicOnce upon a timeBefore the rain began...

“A man surfcasting on a point of rock for bass or mackerel, whipping his long rod to drop the sinker and the bait far out, will hook a fish and rip it from the surface to dangle wriggling through the air: so these (men) were born aloft in spasms toward the cliff.”

Description of Scylla wrenching Odysseus’s men from the boats

Odysseus to Telemachus

by Joseph Brodsky My dear Telemachus, The Trojan War is over now; I don't recall who won it. The Greeks, no doubt, for only they would leaveso many dead so far from their own homeland. But still, my homeward way has proved too long. While we were wasting time there, old Poseidon, it almost seems, stretched and extended space. I don't know where I am or what this place can be. It would appear some filthy island, with bushes, buildings, and great grunting pigs. A garden choked with weeds; some queen or other. Grass and huge stones . . . Telemachus, my son! To a wanderer the faces of all islands resemble one another. And the mind trips, numbering waves; eyes, sore from sea horizons, run; and the flesh of water stuffs the ears. I can't remember how the war came out; even how old you are--I can't remember. Grow up, then, my Telemachus, grow strong. Only the gods know if we'll see each other again. You've long since ceased to be that babe before whom I reined in the plowing bullocks. Had it not been for Palamedes' trick we two would still be living in one household. But maybe he was right; away from me you are quite safe from all Oedipal passions, and your dreams, my Telemachus, are blameless.
