Odysseus Journey to the Underworld By: Annie Mangone

The Cast Odysseus- Tom Welling- Achilles- Chad Michael Murray - Hades- Zachary Quinto- Odysseus Mother- Dame Judy Dench-

Odysseus Odysseus was the king of Ithaca and went to Troy to fight against them. Odysseus had come up with the idea for the Trojan horse. Odysseus had become an enemy of Poseidon the god of the sea and when the war was over when they went to sail home Odysseus and his men kept getting lost at sea this went on for ten years.

Budget and Location of Film The filming of The Odyssey will take place in Greece off the coast of Athens and in Turkey. We are filming in these places because that is where most of his journeys took place. The budget for the movie will be $150 Million dollars.

The Theme and the Goal Every story needs a theme and this one has a little bit of every thing. Including action , drama, history, romance and war. The goal of the documentary is to educate people on the story of The Odyssey and how the Greeks viewed death. But we also want the to have “fun.”

Odysseus Visits the Underworld Odysseus and his men were getting tired of roaming the sea in search for their home so they went to go see Teiresias the oracle in the underworld. When in the underworld they saw many men that had fallen at the Trojan hands of the army. It was worse for Odysseus because he saw his mother and Achilles.

Odysseus Visits the Underworld Teiresias told Odysseus to sail past the Siren Singers, Besides the Clashing Rocks, Beneath the lair of the horrible Scylla, and past Charybdis the bottomless whirlpool and this will send him on the path home. When they got out of the underworld the headed for the Siren Singers. Odysseus and his men were the first to ever visit the underworld and come back alive.

Hades Hades was the God of the Underworld. In Christian theology, the term Hades refers to the quarters of the dead or sheol (Hell), where the dead await judgment day either at peace or in torment.

Judge of the Underworld Minos the Prince was a mythical king of Crete, son of Zeus and Europa. After his death Minos became a judge of the dead in the underworld.

Judge of the Underworld Rhadamanthus was also the son of Zeus and Europa. Rhadamanthus ruled Crete before his brother Minso and was driven out and when he died he was made one of the judges of the dead in the lower world He was supposed to judge the souls of Asians, Aeacus those of Europeans.

Judge of the Underworld Aeacus was the son of Zeus and Aegina. Aeacus was the mythological king of the island of Aegina in the Saronic Gulf. After Aeacus died he became one of the three judges in the underworld along side his brothers.

Rhadamanthus, Minos, and Aeacus in the Underworld

Homeric’s Belief When a person died, their consciousness would have left their body to enter the palace of Hades or in other words the underworld. Once their consciousness it had left the body it only existed as a phantom image, detectable but untouchable. Homer- Have 2 bring in some more historical content. I told the part where Odysseus goes to the under world and the tell bout how the Greeks viewed death how it was. Use that a point of departure kahil.

Homeric’s Belief Homer- Gradually their consciousness would became a true soul separate from the body. The soul serving as the source of personality and the primary instigator of life's important moral decisions. Concerns about what happened after death made people give a rich assortment of burial rituals and commemorative practices. Homer-

The Greeks Belief The Greeks believed that if a person were to a die and not be buried properly then in the underworld you would be nameless and the other spirits would not speak to you. If you are never buried the you are doomed to live in the underworld and be alone and unknown for ever.
