Your teacher wants you to identify a major theme in Homer's The Odyssey. Before you consider the theme, try to connect your life to that of the major conflicts... First, do you come from a single parent home? The Trojan War was longer and more dynamic than the Iraqi conflicts. Consider that Odysseus, the protagonist, is a great military leader like General Petreas in the recent Iraqi conflict. Consider that many of the warriors are forced into a military conflict in which each does not directly want to get involved. If you cannot find any modern influences, watch the Simpson's episode "Tales from the Public Domain." This parodies the Odyssey as well as two other classic stories.
