“The Odyssey” by Home and “The Aeneid” by Virgil both have very similar implications in the beginning few lines. They both are trying to begin to summarize what the journey of the main character in the story is. Both being similar types of characters. In “The Odyssey” the main hero of the story Odysseus is plagued with an endless journey home to Troy. Dealing with his childish and animal like men who make it harder for him to return to his home. While Homer makes Odysseus a hero Virgil makes his main character a fugitive even though they have the same goal at hand. The implications of both stories is that greediness and selfishness for only yourself will cause you to go into a path of eternal doom. This is not what these men wanted they wanted to go home after many years of fighting and traveling. The Gods new from the beginning of both of these journeys that they would not succeed. They new of the horrors that were to become of all of these warriors, but they made them do it anyway. This is what God made moses do in the bible to become worthy of being the chosen people just as the Gods did to all of these men.
