Teachings Of Christ And The Odyssey

Abstract: The world of Homer's Odyssey was ruled by a conglomerate of Gods who saw little need to assess human conduct outside of intervening for personal gratification and entertainment. Jesus, on the other hand, took on the 'mortal coil' in order to teach, to bring to mankind both instructions on conduct and 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.
