Oh Those Epithets....

Homer uses the epithet to identify the characters of the Odyssey by their specific traits or attributes. Athena is often called for example "grey-eyed Athena" and Odysseus, "lion-hearted Odysseus." 

For this post select three people in your family and create epithets for them.

In my family I have:
Kemper, man of gentle voice and spirit
Fiery-fisted Rush
Ella, giggling woman of compassion
Tullah, woman of wisdom and strength

Now it's your turn. Be creative!
