Odysseus

When it comes to the fate of your destiny c

. . .
Odysseus surely felt it when the gods were happy mad or even sad their emotions controlled how Odysseus would end up in a situation. Another word for fate could be chance, luck, or even doom. Odysseus and his men were put in many situations way beyond their control. For instance when Odysseus was a Circe’s he really wanted to leave at first then got used to it and then was forced to leave by Zeus. an you handle it, the pressure of knowing what will happen to you? Fate is the dictionary is defined as the force that predestines an inevitable event. Like when Odysseus warns his men not to eat the forbidden fruit yet they do anyway and he ends up loosing his whole crew. How can you control chance, how can you stop the future from happening, its impossible to control. With that in consideration, fate is a possibility of something good or something bad.

Imagine a marionette with strings that could sometimes see the future but couldn’t stop it from happening, do you know who you are looking at? That would be Odysseus when he was traveling around the ocean. Odysseus was simply a puppet to the gods, if they wanted him to jump he jumped, but don’t think that Odysseus wanted to jump. Odysseus ad no control over what was coming next due to fate and the gods, they were definitely not responsible for the misfortunes they experienced, they were simply human.

Bearing in mind that Odysseus did do some guilty tasks on his 20-year journey, the gods had overall power. Another example would be that it was Poseidon who kept Odysseus from getting home for 10 years wondering the open ocean not knowing where he was going or when he would see land again or what would happen to him or his men.
