Beautiful Naesicaa

The way Odysseus speaks to Princess Naesicaa when she first found him is amazing. His description of the Princess makes the reader realize how beautiful the girls is. Her beauty is so great that she could definitely be a goddess, even the daughter of great Zeus.. 

"...If one of the gods who rule the skies up there, you're Artemis to the life, the daughter of mighty Zeus - I see her now - " (Book 6, line 164)

But in case that Odysseus were wrong, and she is not a goddess, then he states how blest Naesicaa's family is because of her beauty. This reassures how beautiful the princess is compared to the rest of the mortals, not even Odysseus' wife.

"... I have never laid eyes on anyone like you, neither man nor woman..." (Book 6, line 175)

The message that I like the most about this part of The Odyssey is that Odysseus wasn't unfaithful to his wife Penelope, even though the Princess is more beautiful than any other mortal he has ever seen.

My 4 Epithets

International Nerdy + Fun

I’m an international student from El Salvador. Many of you may not know where my country is, especially since it’s almost the smallest country in the American Continent (Map below just in case). I’ve been studying at BYU since the summer of 2008, and this is my last semester in school. I’ll be graduating in August in Information Systems. My computer background makes me look like I’m a geek, but I’m actually really fun to hang out with.

Happy-Adventurous  

I’m always carrying a smile with me. I feel that being happy and having a good attitude about everything makes you healthy. I love meeting people from different backgrounds and making new friends. I love travelling and going to places I've never been to before. Last summer I went to Europe and I had such a great time, it was a new experience and a great adventure.  There's so much to explore in the world, and I want to continue searching for new experiences.

Nice and Friendly

I always try to be a good friend no matter what. I really care about others, especially my friends. People tell me that they can’t picture me getting angry because I’m always too kind. Don’t get me wrong, I do get angry (not as much as Achilles), I just hide it really well

Funny and Funnier

Something about me is that I’m joking all the time. Sometimes people don’t get my jokes, but they still end up laughing. I like to be the person who comes up with the most random comments in any conversation, and my friends love that about me. Since I come from a different culture, my sarcasm is different, so I’m still learning to use the sarcasm in the USA.

Feeling like a freshman in my last semester!

This is my last semester at BYU. I'll be graduating in August 2012. In order to do so, I'm taking my last GE class, which is Classical Tradition, basically a Greek-Roman history class. It's really strange to take a GE class after taking so many Business courses, I feel like I'm just starting school all over again. I honestly love feeling like a freshman again.

The interesting thing about this class is that instead of writing long-boring papers, I will be BLOGGING. I haven't done this in awhile, and I am not the best blogger either, but blogging will be so much better than writing papers. Nice way to end up school!
