 Take a couple minutes to discuss Odysseus’ journey.
Think about the places he goes and the people he
meets along the way. What are some causes and
effects of his and his crews’ actions?
Cause and Effect #1

 Odysseus and his crew go to the Island of Aiolia.
Aiolos Hippotades gives the men an Ox skin of
winds to help the men on their journey.

Odysseus is asleep.
 What is the effect of this action?
Cause and Effect #1

 EFFECT: When Odysseus’ crew opens the skin of
winds, the winds send Odysseus and his men all the
way back to the island of Aiolia. Aiolos is no longer
willing to help the men because he says they are now
the “gods’ enemy.”
Cause and Effect #2

 Odysseus and his crew arrive at the Island of Helios
to rest after their escape from Scylla.

the island. While Odysseus falls into a deep sleep,
his crewmen decide to disobey Odysseus and kill the
cattle to eat since their supplies have all run out.
Cause and Effect #2

 EFFECT: Helios finds out that Odysseus’ crew has
slain his cattle. He prays to Zeus that the men face
death for their actions. As the crew sets out on the
sea, Zeus sends a wave to crash the ship and kill all
the men. Odysseus is the only one to survive, but
barely
Cause and Effect #3

of her. The two meet when Odysseus visits the
