Sources

1. The Odyssey
2. Let's add some more mythology and history texts as we figure out where we're going.

Resolved

• Our hero is traveling through time in a broken time machine.  He has been called from the future to fight a war.  We discussed the possiblity of the gods playing havoc with Odysseus's return by turning random objects into "port-keys" by which he travels to a new time.
• Our hero's name is Perry Green, a homonym for the name Peregrine, which we learned means Wanderer.
• Our hero's wife is named Hally May, a homonym for the name Halima, which is Arabic for Patient.
• Our hero's son is named Marcus or Markus (spelling to be determined) which both sounds like Telemachus and also has a similar meaning.
• Naomi will be writing the first chapter.
• Tali will be writing the last chapter.
• Perry is a history professor at Emory University

Factors to Determine

• Which war is our Odysseus coming back from?
• What's our Odysseus's name?
• What countries or places will he visit?
• What sorts of monsters/creatures will he encounter?
• What will happen to his crew? He doesn't have a crew
• Who will write the first chapter and set the scene?
• Who will write the final chapter and tie up all the loose ends?
• What order will we write our chapters in (who is writing 1, 2, 3, etc. up to 13)?
• How will we work in our understanding of Homer's Odyssey by using similar style (such as epic similes)?
