Answer 1

Have you looked for a video rental on the story? There have been a few. He was also known as Ulysses.

Sometimes it is easier to see something acted out and get a feel for the character.

Good Luck!

Answer 2

I would write about penelope failing to remain loyal to Odysseus. Odysseus would come home to find that Penelope has remarried and all his peril will have been for naught. The greeks were keen on tragedies, so this might be a good idea. To be more optimistic, you could say that Telemachus finds his father and brings him home instead of him coming home with the aid of Athena. *The gods could punish the suitors *Penelope dies *alternating the original ending and change the test where Odysseus strings his bow It's all limited to your imagination
