The Trojan War was a story filled with drama, battles, and the influence of the gods.

Bag of wind analysis
I think that for Odysseus men to open the bag even
though Odysseus told them not to shows that they aren'tstrong willed and they don't take orders. I think thatbecause they opened the bag thinking that gold andsilver was inside in the bag, but they still went behindtheir leaders orders to do so. I learned that Odysseus isa true leader because even after his men open the bagand caused them to kind of fly away he still put his menbefore him and had a plan to get thing done for his team. -

Scylla and chrybird analysis
I think that odysseus had made a bad order. I think this because he told his mento avoid Charybdis which made them pass scylla which used them to die. I fell like he put his crew in danger when they avoided because it led to them dying and him being stranded on a raft .The this I learned that sometimes odysseus makes the right decision but doesn't. Not everyone is perfect. -
