    Your Personal Odyssey


    The dictionary defines the word “odyssey” as “a long adventurous voyage or trip.” If you
    think about it, your life so far has been an odyssey. The journey of Odysseus has been called a
    metaphor for life. In other words, as each of us travels through life, we will experience problems,
    adventures, and discoveries, just as Odysseus did.
    The following eleven references to the Odyssey give your eleven ideas for creating your
    own timeline of your life. Creatively answer the following questions or prompts. Be creative as
    you construct a decorative timeline to illustrate your journey.
