Homer's Odyssey, Text Comprehension Questions for all 24 Chapters of The Odyssey

The Odyssey can be a challenging read for students. This collection of chapter-by-chapter (or, more accurately, book-by-book) questions for Homer's epic poem The Odyssey was designed to help students focus their reading and clarify the twists and turns of Odysseus' long journey back to Ithaka.

The reading comprehension questions are offered here in a variety of formats, including a reusable paper-saving option, paperless Google interactive worksheets, and traditional consumable worksheets. The download also includes an answer key.

Note: I use Robert Fitzgerald’s translation of Homer's epic poem in my class and my question set follows that publication's plot order and character spellings. Before purchasing, please check to make sure your text follows the Fitzgerald version. If it doesn't, you'll likely need to slide the order of events and/or explain variations in spellings. For example: Ithaka vs. Ithaca, Kirke vs. Circe, etc.
