Odyssey Vocabulary English 9

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

So your class is just about to start the Odyssey. Although you'll undoubtedly help them define vocabulary words in context, present them with this list of nine words to get them started. Each is defined, but consider also providing a sentence that uses each term correctly. Example vocabulary words include kleos, polytheism, and in medias res.
