The Development of DesireThe development of the male warrior, through literature, has a direct relationship with the development of Western civilization. The attributes that a warrior possesses correspond respectively to the attributes that each society considered valuable. These characteristics, initiated by the ideals of society, become the sole reasons for the warrior to continue his heroism. Ideals change with each warrior, however. At the beginning we have a warrior with a mission, but later the warriors become more demanding and must change ideas and concepts to continue. The evolving desires of warriors become the complex ideals that Western civilization develops over time. With this progression of civilization from simple to complex ideals, the evolution of our heroes' ideals and desires will also move from simple to complex. Odysseus is a man who is both strong and intelligent, but best known not for his muscles. body, but the spirit of his brain. A man beloved in all lands except Trojan, and who could stay wherever he pleased, his sailors knew this to be true from one benchmate to another: “It never fails.” He is welcome everywhere: salute to the captain when he arrives! (Homer 166). The irony falls because Ulysses only desires his homeland. “Begin when all those who left behind them hasty death in battle or at sea had long since returned, while he [Ulysses] alone still hungered for home and wife” (Homer 1). Odysseus has many opportunities to complete his journey and start a new life. For example, if he wanted, Odysseus could stay with Kalypso who wanted him forever, "His lady Kalypso clung to him in her caves dug by the sea - a nymph, immortal and very beautiful, who longed for him for her own” (Homer 1) knows that even though she has Odysseus at home, he does not belong to her “Son of Laertes, versatile Odysseus, after all these years with me, you still long for your old home. , I wish you good luck” (Homer 87) To which Odysseus responds: “…Yet it is true, every day I long for home, I long for the sight of home…” (Homer 87). ).Another chance for Odysseus to start a new life is offered by the king of the Phaecians to marry his daughter and live there "...seeing the man that you are, seeing that your thoughts are my own thoughts; - my daughter should be yours and you my son-in-law, if you stayed. » (Homer 120). In each case, Ulysses only wants to return to his wife Penelope, his son and above all his homeland..
