Yes and I drive one--Honda. If you think about why a car is so named perhaps you may be on the way in your journey to relate to modern day literature.

Wow why do so many people choose to be uneducated today? It's Homer btw. His writings have only been around since hmm lets see 500 B.C or so why don't you read it? or at least read cliff notes on it. Sad:/

here are some themes about the story
1. the power of love and devotion - Medea helps Jason& his men escape with the golden fleece
2. determination - Jason accomplishes his goals, he refused to give up on his quest. 'theres no turning back' .. they made it through the clashing rocks for example
3. corruption - King Polias killed Jasons father for the throne. he was power hungry

Watch 'O Brother where art thou' (George Clooney) for some clues; it was based on The Odyssey

don't listen to that moron Leo, it is Homer and it's more or less considered a poem. it's about Odysseus trying to make it home after the Trojan War and the obstacles he has to overcome. you really should read it, it's entertaining, or at least i thought so when i read it in 7th grade 10 years ago

yeah its about how he goes to Moe's and works at a power plant and has three kids and a wife with a really tall hairdo. Its a pretty good story.
