The Odyssey: The Definitive Guide, The Hero’s Journey, and How It’s Related to The Big Lebowski…

Part III: Did We Forget the Myths? This week we take a look at the epic poem, The Odyssey. Walking through the history, the plot, the themes and the meaning we slot it into the format of Joseph Campbell’s The Hero with a Thousand Faces. Through this journey we run into connections with the Sioux Epic, Black Elk Speaks, Joseph Conrad’s The Heart of Darkness, and even The Big Lebowski. Just a whirlwind journey through many of the ways The Odyssey has affected us today. __________ Time Stamps: 0:00 Intro 2:24 Overview of the Odyssey 10:48 Who was Homer? 11:30 Is this even important? 13:20 The Plot 21:00 Themes of the Odyssey 25:00 Deeper Meaning of the Odyssey 28:42 The Odyssey & The Hero With A Thousand Faces 32:05 Odyssey Mystical and Pop Culture Easter Eggs ___________ Links and Attributions: The Odyssey Ship: Drakkar https://www.drakenhh.com Did We Forget the Myths?
