Explanation:

Odyssey is one of the two main epic poems of Ancient Greece, attributed to Homer. It is a sequence of the Iliad, another work credited to the author, and is a fundamental poem in the Western canon. Historically, it is the second - the first being the Iliad itself - the work of Western literature.

The Odyssey, like the Iliad, is a poem elaborated over centuries of oral tradition, having its form fixed in writing, probably at the end of the eighth century BC. Homeric language combines different dialects, including with ancient reminiscences of the Greek language, resulting, therefore, in an artificial language, but understood. Composed in dactylic hexameter was sung by the aedo (singer), who also played, accompanying the zither or formminx, as it appears in the Odyssey itself (canto VIII, verses 43-92) and also in the Iliad (canto IX, verses 187-190) .

Because it is a very rich text of knowledge, with a strong artistic sense, and that portrays many scientific and philosophical concepts, this poem can attract the attention of many scholars, like poets, Artists, City Founders and others.

c) problem and solution

"the monkey's paw" is a rare story in that the theme is actually stated in the story. sgt. maj. morris tells the whites that the old fakir who put the spell on the paw said, "fate rules people's lives and those who interfere with fate do so to their sorrow." the message is a warning, but mr. white doesn't believe it. even though sgt. maj. morris makes it clear that he tried wishing with unfortunate results and he tries to throw the paw on the fire,   mr. white makes a wish for 200 pounds only to find that he receives the money when herbert dies in a factory accident. according to the fakir, then, because mr. white had wished for something he should not have had, his son lost his life.

the second wish that mrs. white encourages him to make is for herbert's return--one week after his death. when the strange knocking begins at the door during the windy night, mr. white panicks, believing that the previously dead but still mangled herbert could have walked home from the cemetary and is now at the door. because he fears what his wife will find if she opens the door, mr. white makes his third wish--for the noise to stop.

therefore, he uses his three wishes and to his sorrow, loses his son and disappoints his wife, who fervently believed that their son was at the door. she wanted him back, regardless of his condition.
