Description
This Introduction to The Odyssey is an Escape Room or Digital Breakout activity your students will love! This resource also includes additional support for your ELL students and younger readers. This digital escape room has been designed to take 60-90 minutes and covers Greek mythology, the characters in The Odyssey, and life and customs on Ithaca, serving as the perfect introduction to your The Odyssey unit.
This Introduction to The Odyssey activity can be used in multiple ways:

In this narrative escape room, students play as Telemachus, who wants to access his father's legendary bow while he's at sea. Eumaeus sets out a series of puzzles for him that acquaint students with Ithaca, the Greek gods and goddesses, and the Greek concept of Xenia.
What You Get:
- Ten core texts providing an overview of the characters "back home" in Homer's Odyssey, gods & goddesses, customs on Ithaca (hospitality, etc.), and the Homeric tradition
- Supplementary texts and puzzles to enrich student understanding of Greek mythology, gods & goddesses, the muses, and the map of the region
- Complete digital capability (site & form linked in resource)
- Homer's Greece Fact Sheet & readings for extended research
- A quiz

- A poster for your door. ;)
✅ Get it as part of this 9th Grade Escape Room Bundle!
Note: This is the most challenging escape room I offer. The puzzles require more critical thinking and the game has one or two tricky spots! These are described in-depth in the Teacher's Guide, so make sure you read that before unleashing your students on the game. :)
