The Odyssey
Mythical Monster Assignment
We have been reading the Odyssey and in it there have been several examples of mythical monsters. The Cyclops, Scylla and Charybdis are all creatures Odysseus had to face. Your job is to create a mythical creature that would be interesting enough for Odysseus to want to see. Once you have drawn this character, you must write a paragraph to go along with it. The paragraph should explain what power the monster has and where it lives. The paragraph should also explain how Odysseus must defeat the beast. Please be creative!
