2.the odysy years
The term odysy years originated from The odysy，a long poem by the Greek author Homer，which is a quel of the Greek hero，Odysus. It describes
Odysus's long journey，trying to return home from adventures and war. For English speakers，as many as for many cultures，the very name of poem，The Odysy，has become a special term for an epic journey，or great struggle. The man character in the epic poem（史诗），Odysus，was wandering away from home and loved ones. During his journey of 10 years，he encountered repeated troubles and challenges. The key insight in Odysy is that the esntials of the journey are not only outward struggle against tremendous difficulties，but，more importantly，inward struggles leading to personal growth. His journey is the one of lf-discovery and of combating his own
arrogance and pride from his young rebel heart. Therefore, it makes n to borrow The Odysy from Greek mythology to describe the rebellious years young people usually go through. The term odysy year is a metaphor of this special stage for young people.
