This article is dedicated to all the English majors, literature buffs and liberal arts professors of the world. I present a "play on words" of sorts. Before it was a writing platform, "Odyssey" was a famous epic poem written by Homer of early 8th century B.C. If you haven't read it, here's a little background: Odyssey follows a Greek hero named Odysseus previously written about in Homer's earlier poem, "Iliad." The "Iliad" follows the beginnings of Odysseus and his mythological encounters by the gods on Mount Olympus. "Odyssey" continues the mythical journey of Odysseus' return home to Ithaca. Enjoy the irony and playfully sarcastic commentary my fellow literature junkies!

Odysseus and the Sirens: Odysseus and his crew needed to pass through the waters of these sirens that were known in Greek mythology to be seductive and tempting.

Sirens: "Will you write an article about me this week?" "What about me?" "You said you would write about me last week!"

Odysseus: "Ladies, please, you each will get an article in due time."

*cue Siren enchantment*

Odysseus and the Cyclops: Odysseus and his crew were shipwrecked on an island occupied by Poseidon's son, the Cyclops. Odysseus and his team needed to create a plan to get out of the custody of the misunderstood monster.

"I know that I'm the EIC and that basically only means 'the one with the rules' but can you not boycott the deadline every week? Sometimes I like to have a weekend off too, ya know."

Odysseus and Calypso: Calypso was madly in love with Odysseus, and refused to let him leave her island to return to his home, Ithaca.

"C'mon Odysseus, stop crying. I know your article wasn't very popular. Sit down to dinner, I made your favorite; roast beef and disappointment."

Odysseus and Athena: Athena was Odysseus' biggest advocate and was constantly intervening with the other god's plans for Odysseus.

"I absolutely love your articles. I read every one. I'm your biggest fan. Totes ma-goats, homeslice."

Odysseus and Poseidon: Poseidon is constantly trying to destroy Odysseus by sea because he's holding a grudge against him for killing his son.

*When the EIC basically changes your entire article*

Odysseus on Scheria: Odysseus was shipwrecked on the welcoming island of Scheria by Athena so he could finally return home.

*Sitting with a group of friends*

"You write articles? Really? Are they any good?"

Odysseus Returns to Ithaca: Odysseus finally can reunite with his loving wife, Penelope.

"So tell me, what seems to be the problem?"

" Writer's block. Constant writer's block."

I hope you enjoyed this Greek mythological play on words and depictions featuring the "Odyssey" and "Iliad." Keep an eye out for more amazing "Odyssey" articles (unrelated to the epic poem).
