What are the 3 parts of an epic?

What are the different parts of the epic quest in the Odyssey?

  • we need to point out these three parts that occur in the odyssey for our project - departure - initiation - triumphant return PLEASE HELP US WE ARE DESPERATE!

  • Answer:

    Well, departure could mean a number of things. Departure from what? From Calypso's island, Circe's palace, the Phaecians, Telemachus departing Sparta for home, Telemachus departing home to look for his father? The are many possibilities. Or even the Cyclops. For initiation I really don't know.... Sorry. For triumphant return: obviously Odysseus' triumphant return. He comes home and Athena makes him look like a shriveled up little old beggar and he reveals himself to others then he kills off the suitors that were ruining his home, sucking his fortune, and trying to court his wife. Read the Odyssey and Heroes of the City of Man as a guide and it would really help.... Actually, if you don't want to take the time, just read Heroes of the city of man and just the part about the Odyssey. He uses Robert Fagles' translation if it helps. Good luck you guys!
