Homer's Odyssey

[pony66360]

haha we read this in lit and we watched this. way too funny

[RoastedKittyFood]

Our history teacher showed us this the other day. Being in 7th grade we thought it would be a history channel type thing. We all started laughing so hard!

[brothermcleod]

@RoastedKittyFood glad to hear you all liked it :)

[AnimeKittyNyah]

We read the Odessey for English class, and our teacher said, "If you are confused, watch this video and it will make sense." Our class laughed our butts off. :D

[mintyeejit]

This is brilliant! Ever though of doing an Aeneid version?

[brothermcleod]

@mintyeejit We've thought of doing other stories in 15 seconds but somehow have never got round to it!

[Dhuennufer]

"Hi honey I'm home" LOL Great stuff.

I read the entire epic in hexameters a few years ago and I truly enjoyed it!!!

A story about freedom, danger and adventure ... A hero who needs help from the gods, but still makes his OWN decisions ...

If I had a time machine I'd go back to those days ... Speaking of which: anybody know the film "Time Bandits"?

[konsyjes]

I think it's pretty hideous

[aram01201]

AWESOME!! XD

[yellowcats12]

hahaha..........its funny lol..........:P

[FAITHandHOPE96]

i'm prettty sure i could've JUST watched this and taken my quiz instead of reading it.......

[RandyRhoadsFan82]

only thing unvalid at the end was when Odysseus came home, he killed the suitors with his bow and arrow not a sword lol

[glassman18352]

LOL Excellent! Now maybe I'll pass my test!

[Nassieful]

The real melesigenes - homer or what?:-)

[TheAlimalii]

Now that's a good version.

I had to watch a boring movie about it at greek class, and it sucked!

[MrLileddy123]

the actual story takes up about 20 years...

[koolcat52686]

amazing :) that was probably better than the movie

[SatoTM3]

well...that was very educational =P if only school periods lasted that long

or our teacher's...

[lawden06]

Today your teacher tried to show us this but only the most weird sound of all time came out.

[MasyJr]

Best. Ever.

[Zing127]

i will show this on my presentation! it is just great!

[duncanbee1296]

His name was either Odysseus or Ulysses. It was just a variation of spelling. Like Athena or Athene

[duncanbee1296]

my teacher showed this in my Omnibus class when we were reading the Odyssey

[CORRUPTsn1per]

I have to show my teacher this lmao

[englishman177]

Odysseus "WOAH! Son, you aged 20 years in 15 seconds! what's up with that?"

[Pilot171990]

just in 15 seconds man that is so fast !!!!

[angryoldfatman]

33 people need to be zapped by witches and eaten by Polyphemus.

[FlobotsFan101]

Lol, I had to read this over the summer. This video basically sums it up

[frostyobsitnic]

I am so pleased right now.

[tsuntsunxue]

you didn't include all of it!

[JHallballer0]

here i thought this was actually going to help... good thing i actually read the book

[BigDavy0]

good to know....

[Fishy170288]

hahahaha nice!

[PastelStudios]

lol i just got done reading the adventures of ulysses

[KoushAcalledKukA]

its much to long!

[TheBigBadWolf707]

well done

[joedesvinet]

greek mythology FTW!!! X'D

[aislinn38]

My class watched this video before we had to read it and it was confusing and now that i read the stupid book it makes total sense.

[WOWLionblood]

I read all the books This covers up to the Home coming very well Great viedo!

[receiver2005]

hahaha wow someone read the book!

[Zeventwo]

wow that was very good.

[GamGuy547]

I ahnania homne :D

[xsonz2]

Does it strike anyone oddly that its Homers odyssey, and the main character is Odysseus? Is that how creative you had to be to become one of the worlds greatest authors of all time?

[brothermcleod]

I think it's just like saying "Tolkein's Lord of the Rings" or "Rowling's Harry Potter" or "Brown's Da Vinci Code"

[xsonz2]

Not that, though you are right. I meant, odysseus favors closely to Odyssey. Not much thought was seemingly put into it, though it was kind of a trend back then I imagine.

[mksalva]

Or "Berry Gordy's The Last Dragon"!

[mksalva]

@brothermcleod Or  "Berry Gordy's The Last Dragon"!

[asdfasdfasddff]

@xsonz2 I'm not sure what you're getting at. I hope that you know that the word 'odyssey' is based on the name 'Odysseus'? That's not so creative at all..

[xsonz2]

@asdfasdfasddff yes, I understand this. Thats what im getting at, they are plainly done similerly by the author. I guess it would be slightly more relevant if Odysseus was a commen name, but I doubt it. The connection between the two are meant to be plainly obvious, but why? Just so the reader would remember the name?

[d3nisk3n]

@xsonz2 he was regarded as Odysseus, but his real name was Ulisses

[konsyjes]

@xsonz2 : Yeah the character's named after the story, right? I know, how dumb. It would make much more sense to name the story after the character... oh wait!

[LibertasLoquendi]

@xsonz2 We are not even sure whether the "Odyssey" was its original name at all. Generally speaking, the first words/line of a poem was often also its title. In this way, Virgil's Aeneid was originally called "Arma verumque cano" (the first three words of the poem) and 'Aeneid' was a later invention. So, perhaps, the Odyssey's original name was "Andra moi ennepe" (transliterated from ancient Greek).

[plainoutofthisworld]

our teacher actually showed us this video in our english class when we were starting to read The Odyssey, Super awesome XD

[brothermcleod]

I'm very pleased about that!

[kiraragirl200]

@plainoutofthisworld Lolz our english teacher did the same thing today XD

[xoxoerikaxoxo88]

@plainoutofthisworld

same here

[MisszP]

u forgot athena and zeus and that isn't whathomer from greek mthology looked like and homer didn't kill people he almost got killed

[brothermcleod]

I think you may be taking it a bit seriously. And btw the main character in Homer's Odyssey isn't Homer - it's Odysseus. Homer is the author of the story. And Odysseus certainly did kill people.

[MisszP]

when the hell did i write this??

[xsonz2]

IN THE FUTURE?

[wmorgando]

Odysseus(I am pretty sure you are not talking about Homer the poet.) did kill people. He was in a freaking war, and he killed all the suitors and the maids who slept with them.

[Becatsup]

Odysseus was a pirate! He sacked a city full of women and children for no very good reason.

Then gets cross when the Phaecians accused him of bieng a "trader".

Strange man.

[crescentrolls90]

Wow... Awesome!!! :) One of my favorite things I read in high school.

[lastmanstanding3313]

you forgot Syclla and Chardabis! They were thr best part! goo d job anyways!

[spartaremix299]

thas was very quik summary of odysses, nice job.

[RichtofenV2]

Its sad....that hes right...

[speed10641]

awesome a 500 page poem cut down to 15 seconds i love it

[warofthemonsters1]

@speed10641 I though it was prose?

[brothermcleod]

@warofthemonsters1 I believe it's known as an 'Epic Poem' like Milton's Paradise Lost and others :)

[pplrch]

hahahaha hi honey i'm home XD

[sparrow111260]

Excellant!!

[blaqkroseimmortal]

Lol, that was excellent!!

XxXx.

[provokastoras]

Did you make a point on the 1 sec per year of travels or was it by accident?

[brothermcleod]

That wasn't deliberate. Also I think it took him ten years to get home, plus the ten years he was held captive by Calypso (if my memory is right!)

[CGL2Director]

makes sense.

[shilack2]

that was awesome...lol...nice job

[Beansyom]

Um... I think I still have to read the book, but thanks.

[aombrad]

Thank You so much! That saved me alot of reading

[dragonblaster]

hahahahahaahah he stepped on his own dog lol

[gymnlis11]

wait who gives the bag of the winds to who?

[gymnlis11]

lol i so needed this 4 school hahaha

[ZelloBrosPro]

that pretty much sums it up!

[jasonsgroovemachine]

Totally brilliant.

[54spiritedwill54]

Amazing.

[faruh123]

lol i read the odyssey :P but i dont recall a part where Odysseus' soldiers are pigs and get squished by a man throwing a rock.

[brothermcleod]

Hi Faruh123. It's two parts of the story telescoped together - the part where Circe turns the soldiers into pigs. The second part is a reference to the ogres of Antiphates who threw rocks onto Odysseus' men.

[faruh123]

OHhhhhhh thanks for the clear up man, and really good job on this animation, i dont think anyone has done anything like this before on the Odyssey so kudos.

[reed697]

you should make one on the iliad

[go5gum]

iliad was boring kinda. 2/3 of book were telling who the people were

[reed697]

lol we watched this in language arts and we all laughed our heads off

[ultrasuperbox]

Thank YOU! I need to write a report and this is what I will base it off of.

[reed697]

i dont think that that is a very good idea conidering that it isnt that accurate

[xzc426]

That sums it up about right, lol.

[Hamsterlover16]

stupid video

[mitsuko64]

What no Telemachus? lol Or is that pt 2?

[gunsnroses111111]

that was pretty accurate

[shardeedar2]
