Thesis Statements Your thesis statement should tell the reader exactly what you will be comparing and contrasting in your paper… Although hundreds of years have passed since Homer wrote his great epic the Odyssey, the same values and themes can still be found in modern day epics such as George Lucas’s Star Wars: A New Hope. An epic involves a long narrative about the deeds of a hero. Surprisingly, two epics like Homer’s Odyssey and George Lucas’s Star Wars: A New Hope, which come from two completely different time periods, have many similarities. These similarities show how society today and hundreds of years ago can still value some of the same themes. Luke Skywalker, a modern day epic hero, and Odysseus, an ancient Greek epic hero, both portray similar heroic traits. Although their tales have been told hundreds of years apart from each other, we still see many reoccurring themes. Homer’s classic epic the Odyssey tells the story of Odysseus and his great heroic adventure. Today, many of the same epic qualities can be found in the modern day classic Star Wars: A New Hope. Although traits of a hero can change over time among different civilizations, it is common to find reoccurring traits and themes in any epic. Homer’s ancient Greek epic the Odyssey and George Lucas’s modern day epic Star Wars: A New Hope show the similarities and differences in epics over time. Epic stories contain themes that are timeless. Explain how and why the elements in these epic stories transcend time and place.
