Rest and Death in Homers Odyssey In the Odyssey, Homer uses rest to speak to the possibility of death, which makes the battle to stay cognizant and the battle to stay alive one in a similar battle. Odysseus is continually battling to stay alert, to maintain a strategic distance from repetitiveness. It is this allegorical a sleeping disorder that empowers Odysseus to come back to his local land. In any case, at long last, rest is an inescapable piece of being alive, similarly as death seems to be. Odysseus, being human, can't maintain a strategic distance from this. An approach to delay?if not to transcend?both rest and passing however is through storytelling.Sleep is passings agent on earth. The most significant qualification that can in truth be drawn among rest and passing is that demise is a perpetual situation, and accordingly conveys with it an increasingly negative undertone. Penelope characterizes rest as the obscurity of all/things, both great and underhandedness (20:85). Such is demise. Rest can calm (12:31) as does demise.
