You will be writing an essay analyzing the hero’s journey in contemporary culture by focusing on the ancient hero Odysseus.

Your essay should answer the following questions: Where do you see the hero’s journey being played out in culture today? What contemporary books, movies and television shows incorporate the elements of the hero’s journey? How does the hero’s journey of Ulysses (Odysseus in the Greek language) in stories today compare to the ancient hero’s journey as found in Bulfinch’s Mythology: “Odyssey” and “Ulysses”? Finally, why do you think the hero’s journey is something that still matters to people today?
