Reflection of the Odyssey

From the Odyssey, i learned that you have to stay truthful or loyal to everything that you love and care about. I learned this from the story of Odysseus returning back home from the trojan war. Penelope waited 20 years before she ever thought about finding another husband to take the place of Odysseus. Even though Odysseus slept with Calypso every night, he still didn't forget about his wife back at home. Now it sounds crazy that he would sleep with another woman when he's married, but when Calypso tried to keep him back on her island by saying that he would  rather have a young beautiful girl instead of a old woman and that he would never become old if he stayed on her island. Odysseus didn't care about anything that she said because he said he belonged at home with his wife Penelope and he went through many tough battles on his journey back home. This is one lesson that i learned from studying the Odyssey. Never give up on something you love.
