The word “quest” means a search or pursuit made in order to find or obtain something. In the movie Whale Rider a little girl named Paikea pursues a quest to follow that of her ancestors.

Penelope who is the wife of Odysseus in Homer’s ‘The Odyssey’ is the daughter of Icarius and Periboea. Her and her husband Odysseus had one son by the name of Telemachus who was born just before Odysseus was called away to war.

Davies’ dedicates a chapter on the myth of Gyges and Candaules to recognize Dunny’s personality and relationship. In the myth of Gyges and Candaules, Gyges is a friend to the rich and prestige King, Candaules.

The way Argos relates to Odysseus’s part of the passage is how just like the way Odysseus wanted his mother to wait for him, Argos wanted to see his master once again before he died.

Argos was there the whole story seeing everything unfold and he longed for his master to be home in order for him to die peacefully.

The Sea The sea itself is a recurring symbol throughout the epic. It is, in effect, the sea of life. It represents a great man's journey through life with all its victories and heartbreaks.
