About this deal

After ten long years fighting at Troy, and another ten years of extraordinary adventures, Odysseus finally made it home to Ithaca, disguised as a beggar…only to find that his wife and son had been fighting off other men who wanted to take his throne. The Trojan wars had ended. Odysseus, Greek hero and the King of Ithaca, was desperate to return home to his wife, Penelope, and their son Telemachus, who he had not seen for ten long years.

We advise watching before sharing with your class. Synopsis Battleships. On the grid provided, children plot each of the seven obstacles in the story (Polyphemus, Poseidon, the Laestrogonians, Circe, The Sirens, Scylla, Helios).

How will they ‘sell’ the island when they must reference the danger that lurks there?Odysseus, King of Ithaca, sails for home with his men at the end of the Trojan War. But they suffer misfortune after misfortune and encounter all sorts of obstacles along the way. Unfortunately for Odysseus, Polyphemus was actually the son of Poseidon, God of the sea.

Odysseus offered the Cyclops some delicious wine he had carried from the ship. The Cyclops drank it in one gulp…then collapsed to the floor, asleep. It was very, very strong wine. Escape plan! Children must imagine they are Odysseus who is charged with advising other travellers of the dangers of the journey. They must choose one of the threats in the story and write a set of instructions to help travellers escape the danger. They could use Odysseus’ own escape methods or devise one of their own. Odysseus then landed the ship on the island of Thrinacia where the hungry crew found a herd of cattle and slaughtered them for food. Oh dear! The cattle belonged to Helios - God of the sun. Oops!
