The Odyssey Archetype

For my Odyssey archetype I chose Cinna, from the Hunger Games series. In the books, he is stylist of Katniss-the main character-but he is also her mentor. Katniss experiences lots of changes when she visits the Capitol. Everyone else has far more experience with the way Capitol life is and the way people treat each other. Cinna points out to her whom to trust and whom to stay away from. He played a crucial part in training her to know her allies and her enemies, which she used to win the Hunger Games. Cinna is very similar to Athena, who is Odysseus' mentor.
