Further research. - The Odyssey

- After researching further into 'The Odyssey' i feel that this could also be a really interesting area of within greek history to focus my project around. 

- A problem with my initial ideas of creating illustrations depicting a variety of gods or monsters, or even telling well known stories perhaps is that the scope is still so broad. - perhaps I need to focus down the subject even more.

- If choosing the odyssey I could create a series of book or prints depicting Odyssey's 10 year journey back to his beloved family. Along the way he encounters so many 'gods and monsters' - exciting and interesting events unfold. 

- Perhaps then my response would be more cohesive and less 'random'? - even in the world of greek myths /legends there are so many subjects that the choice is endless! i feel that i need to narrow down some sort of theme further within this.

Aims/ideas

- Consider books 3-5. arguably the most entertaining and eventful section within The Odyssey. Draw and create in response to researched characters and scenes.

- I like the idea of forming a cohesive set of prints - published within a book telling the story of the odyssey's journey. 

- Perhaps also considering how i could piece all these scenes together for an alternative display? - could all the sections make up the body or face of the odyssey himself?! - to create a huge wall print or wallpaper design? 
- Could the ideas be to overdone? - need to look at existing interpretations of the story.
