this part from erwin cook's paper Active and Passive Heroics in the Odyssey got me thinking about the major genre shift between the battles and 'traditional' adversaries of the iliad and the fantastical encounters and obstacles of the odyssey:

After suffering seventy-two casualties from the Kikones, Odysseus and his men are then 'buffeted' at sea, but in their next adventure, among the Lotophagoi (lotus-eaters), they discover that the storm has driven them beyond the confines of the Greek world, and with it their identity as Iliadic warriors. Of the many things that distinguish the enchanted realm in which they now find themselves from the world of Troy, perhaps the most important thematically is that from this point forward the Greeks are not afforded a single opportunity to fight their adversaries.

(i know it can be argued that they "fought" polyphemus but i'd say that's more of a tactical hamstringing maneuver within a larger scheme than a straight up battle)

the concept of their identities as iliadic warriors makes me think about how odysseus' survival is in a large part due to his flexibility of identity: not just that he is able to pretend to be other people, but that he manages to shift from that iliadic mode to this more pliable way of being where he sometimes needs to stand his ground (and threaten violence even if he does not enact it) and other times make himself seem much lesser than he is. we spend most of the book seeing this pliable, shifting odysseus but then, crucially, he allows himself to shift back into that uniyelding iliadic mode for his aristeia as he slaughters the suitors. clearly he has been changed by his adventures, but in that moment he proves that although he's been forced to suppress it, he won't (can't?) lose that iliadic warrior inside himself.
