 * How does Odysseus and his journey compare to Harry and his experiences?

I'm currently leaving the starting points at the top so that we can refrence them for a while, while we are working on this project. I figure we can all agree on removing them sooner than later. (Jeremy Caselli) (JC) Also I figure if we are to put our initials before and after our writing, it will help us keep track of our work. towards the end, we can copy and paste it into a word document or google doc and remove our initials for the page to look correct.

The poem the Odyssey is quite long and I doubt we will be able to completely read the poem and work it in with HP. I've started our wiki, I'm hoping that this is what she is looking for, Please see below.

(JC) Odysseus is a Legendary Greek King (NOT GREEK GOD) of Ithaca; whom plays a key role in Homer's Lliad and other works. The Epic poem that we will be discussing is The Odyssey and how it relates to Harry Potter books. (JC) (JC) The poem is estimated to have been written somewhere around the end of the 8th century B.C.E. This poem is going to relate to the Harry Potter series because of the following items that are similar from Greek Mythology to the Harry Potter Series. (JC)
