Although gods and monsters are external forces which impede their return‚ Odysseus and his men make matters worse for themselves by acting without caution and on their own selfish whims. In The Odyssey by Homer‚ internal forces of recklessness and temptation act stronger than external forces in preventing Odysseus and his crew from achieving nostos. Odysseus and his crew act with great recklessness‚ which leads to deaths and losses of progress in their journey home. One example of Odysseus’s recklessness

The Making of a Hero The Odyssey an epic poem by Homer (translated by Robert Fitzgerald) has many various themes woven throughout the story. One of my personal favorites is: falling into temptation will take you farther back than your starting point.
