'Odysseus is only motivated by his desire to return home'. How far do you agree with this view?

Read the question multiple times. The statement is extremely narrow - to say Odysseus is 'only' motivated by nostos is incorrect.Think of your initial ideas, jot them down. What motivates Odysseus?Reaching Penelope and TelemachusDivine intervention from the godsHis emotions - for example his emotional episode on Circe's islandHis reputation - he is a Greek hero, and an unknown death would leave him without honourHis son's reputation - if Telemachus does not know what happened to his father, this causes his reputation to suffer as the status of one's father was extremely importantFate - Teiresias' prophecy in the UnderworldYou should then give examples from the text - if you make a point, make sure you can back it up with evidence!His tears for PenelopeHis refusal to marry NausicaaHis notoriety - no one knows what happened to him, e.g. MenelausHis meeting with his mother in the UnderworldHis arrival on Phaeacia is humiliating - he is washed up, naked, and they do not know who he isThen, structure your argument. First, give examples of why you do agree. Then, give examples of why you don't agree. Make sure you always refer back to the wording of the question so that you do not get side-tracked!Once you have made your argument, make sure your conclusion fits what you have already said. It is important to note that you do not always have to give a black and white answer for a question like this - you can agree to any extent, but then have your reasons for disagreeing.
