In the tumultuous years of modern life, we have always wanted someone who could stand by and for us. Someone who would respect and view us as partners and not just mere servants or the like. Most of us, if not all of us, look for that someone who would be true and faithful to us. But how do we define faithfulness? Is it the ability to resist any form of temptation? Or, it is the ability to bear in mind the existence of our significant other? Does the definition of the word change through time?
Odysseus is loyal as he puts it. He came to live with Circe and Kalypso. He had enjoyed his years of stay with these two women. Now, isn't loyalty and faithfulness tied with one another? If they are, can we then consider Odysseus to be faithful still to Penelope? If they are not, then what is the difference between loyalty and faithfulness?

Those two words, when searched in the dictionary, as their meaning says, those two are simply tied with each other. And as to Odysseus, he had been faithful all the time to Penelope. He might have lived with those two women, Circe and Calypso, but he had just done those for he had made sacrifices. Maybe he had longed for someone's touch when with Calypso. And he might had been tempted through those years being away with Penelope. But he had stayed faithful and loyal with his heart and soul to his only woman, Penelope. It was also shown when he had done everything just to be home and to be with Penelope's arms and by the time he had chosen not to be immortal and to stay mortal and die in the arms of Penelope being a man.
Technically, those two words are tied with each other. With regards to Odysseus, as a man, i understand him. Yes! he happened to have an affair with those two women, but it doesn't mean his loyalty and faithfulness had depreciated as a husband. With his situation during his adventure, although those two temptations came to be as a pleasure to other side being a man but i saw and felt his agony longing for his family so what he did was part of the consequences and all of those were his sacrifices just for survival. Generally, he beared everything just to go back home. .home to his family.
loyalty and faithfulness.two words that for an instance may mean thesame but difinitely have diffirent meaning. Loyalty is you are true to someone but doesnt mean that you cannot be another one while faithfulness is being devoted to someone that what ever happens she/he will always be in you. I can say that Odysseus is faithful to Penelope because even though has with diffirent girls still in the end he chooses Penelope and he never forgets about her.

Faithfulness and loyalty, these words are not really the same by description, but are linked together, especially in terms of love.
I think Odysseus remains faithful to Penelope, though he had stayed and made love to Calypso and Circe, but as what Hermes said "you cannot refuse a goddess". But the fact that in every place Odysseus stayed, he did not forgot his family specially his wife, Penelope, though his life with the goddesses are very ideal. But if it was an ordinary man, I think they would have already forgotten their family and would prefer to live with a goddess.

Loyal and faithful? I guess those two words are just linked together in some way or another. Odysseus both had those two characteristics to Penelope. For years and years of being away from Penelope and Telemachus, he's ever been loyal and faithful even though he slept several years with Circe and Kalypso. Maybe i can say that even though she really loved Penelope so much, he can never resist the longing of a man to a woman physically. But then again, he strived really hard and even swallow his pride to talk and beg to Poseidon so that he may return to Ithaca and live together with Penelope to which his body and soul belongs.

Faithfulness and Loyalty are not same in meaning but has a very important part in each other. Specifically Odysseus had been faithful to Penelope because he used to do a lot of sacrifices and fought against enemies just to let himself go back ti Ithaca even he is tempted with another woman he showed to everyone his love for his wife and for his son and even for a long long years a part from Penelope he still go back to his family in Ithaca.

If Odysseus is to be describe between LOYALTY and FAITHFULNESS,i could say Odysseus is faithful to Penelope.. despite of all the pleasures he experienced in different women,of all the discouraging thoughts they have given to him,,it was still Penelope who he was longing for..he faced all the trials just to return home..after 20 years of being far to your loved ones,you might surrender the hope of seeing them again,but not Odysseus..
For me,the difference between the two words is that being loyal is the same with being true to a person,and being faithful is that whatever happens,that person is always in mind,heart and soul.

For me again, Odysseus is still considered as faithful to Penelope for even though he enjoys the company of Circe and Calypso but he was able to think the best memories of her wife Penelope. In which it symbolizes that he is just for Penelope and no one can take him from her.
Loyalty, is showing how responsible a person on his obligations to his wife as a loyal husband. That was the case of Odysseus.

Faithfulness? this was the hardest test in our lives, in this generations you could hardly resist temptations. for Odysseus, i can describe and defend him as a faithful husband to Penelope, even if there are a lot of temptations crossed his way, and even if the goddesses tempted him but at the end he still end up looking and searching ways to see Penelope and his homeland Ithaca.there is always one girl in his heart and that is penelope, he fought all the trails in his life hoping he could come back to Ithaca, embrace his son and wife as soon as possible.

In some other way, the two words are just similar and connected ot each other but they are not exactly the same.
Odysseus had been faithful and loyal to his wife Penelope even if he had slept with other woman like Circle and Calypso. For 20 years away from his family and for how many circumstances he had passed after troy, he had not forgotten them, not even once..!!
And he always long to go home and be with Penelope's arm again..!

"Loyalty means nothing unless it has at its heart the absolute principle of self-sacrifice."
-Woodrow T. Wilson
I believe that both loyalty and faithfulness is closely tied with each other because upon seeing the thesaurus, it is synonymous. Thus, when we base the situation of Odysseus and Penelope on the said meaning, they really do not have that faith and loyalty towards each other. But, I believe that its an exemption because both of them suffered a lot of sacrifices and hindrances and they both survived with it, so in other words it shows that it was just a test for the both of them.
Actually, I don't believe that Odysseus was happy with his stay with those goddesses because every moment that he is with them it is still Penelope which he had in mind.Also, every time he is given a chance to go he don't hesitate to leave and still overcoming all odds along his way just to be back in his wife,son and kingdom.

Those two words are of synonymous meaning.Odysseus has been faithful to Penelope because he really loves Penelope even if he come back so long. On the other hand, Odysseus is quit not loyal because he had lived with Circe and Calypso and maybe he just do that because he longs for a care of a wife. But still Odysseus sacrifices a lot to go back home for his family.

Faithfulness is the ability to bear in mind the existence of significant other. because their are instances that we can't refuse to commit temptation like Odysseus he can't refuse the temptation because he was forced by the goddesses.

At some point, loyalty and faithfulness are synonymous in meaning especially when it comes to love. I believe that Odysseus is really faithful to Penelope because he does everything just to go back to Ithaca even though it cost several years to do it. Though Odysseus have romance with Circe and Calypso, he never forgets Penelope and still chooses to go back to be with his only son and wife. I also believe that the several years that he has romance with this two goddesses are due to longing of times he had with his wife when his gone.
Loyalty and faithfulness are synonymous in meaning especially in terms of love.
Yes!, Odysseus is still faithful to his wife because despite of all the temptation he did everything just to go back to his land,Ithaca even though it takes to long just to be with his family.
But on the other hand Odysseus is not quit loyal to Penelope because he had an affair with Circe and Calypso.
In general Odysseus really love his wife Penelope.

They are synonyms but I think the circumtances in which they are difference.Loyalty is an act of binding yourself intellectually or emotionally to a coarse of action.

Faithfulness and Loyalty, are almost the same aw what the others know.. But actually these two words are different.. Loyalty is is being true to the one you choosed, but can stil interact to others. while faithfullness is being true and devoted to the you choosed and never be temptated to others and will always be to the she loves. Buf for odysseus he is vry faithful to penelope for eventhough he had done such things, he still never forget penelope, and he still longing for the love of his family.

Those two words, faithful and loyalty, have different meanings. And as to what Odysseus have shown from the movie Odyssey, Odysseus had been faithful to Penelope ever since. He might just have an affair with the two goddess, Circe and Calypso that is just because of the sufferings that Poseidon gave him. Even though goddess Circe offered him to be immortal, Odysseus refused and rather wants to stay mortal and die in the arms of her wife, Penelope. Odysseus stayed faithful and loyal to her wife, in his heart and soul.

Basing on what Odysseus did while he was away from home he had been faithful to Penelope however he was not loyal.It is because in my own perception when you said that a person is loyal that person still gets attracted to others,appreciates beauty,still flirt with others in some means yet at the end of the day that person knows where his heart really belongs.On the other hand when you said faithfulnes it must be in terms of both body and soul.A faithful person do not have the time to be attracted to others,his attention is only for the person he loves.That is why for me Odysseus is not faithful.

If we are going to look up the dictionary that two words are of the same meaning but in different ways. Odysseus is loyal and faithful to Penelope for the reason that he will risk his own life in order to go back to his native land Ithaca. even though he is captured and tempted, but still he find way to be with his one love.

As the dictionary defines loyalty and faithfulness, the two words has still a connection in another way.
Between Penelope and Odysseus, they are tied together with loyalty and faithfulness as time goes on. But, as time passes by, the loyalty of Odysseus had break when he meet the two goddesses, which would probably be a sacrifice just to claim his men back in Circe's island, and for survival in Calypso's island.
Even though he still committed sin, faithfulness still remains for his heart still belong to his one and only love, Penelope. He did his best only to survive from those obstacles he crosses, searching ways to overcome the loneliness and emptiness he had suffer.

Loyalty and faithfulness are wonderful qualities. According to "Webster's New World Dictionary" the meaning of loyalty includes allegiance, faithfulness, fidelity, trustworthiness, integrity, honesty, reliability, truthfulness and more. Odysseus is loyal and faithful to Penelope because he risk his own life in order to go back to his kingdom and to be with his son Thelamacus. Even the gods try to stop him but still he overcomes those trials.

Truly faithfulness and loyalty are tied with each other because when it is searched, those words have almost the same meaning. In that way, Odysseus can be considered to be faithful still to Penelope through his suffers under Poseidon and sacrifices while soaring the land of Ithaca where his family living. But as the destiny brings him to Circe and Calypso he was just longing for someone to make him comfort thinking those are only one of the challenges made by Poseidon. With those decisions, he is just shown his Faithfulness and Loyalty to her wife Penelope by pursuing his task to don't loss hope in seeking the land of Ithaca. For him to feel the embrace of his long time unseen son and his wife Penelope.

For me they are and still consider Odyseus faithful to Penelope simply because Odyseus done those things just because of his eagerness in returning home to Ithaca. Although man posses the kind of attitude when it comes to temptation I believe that he only did it because of his love for Penelope. Perhaps on the movie a God ones said that he should refuse a goddess.
I mean he should NOT refuse a goddess.

Loyalty and faithfulness are wonderful qualities. When searched in the dictionary they are simply tied to one meaning especially in love. Well, in the movie Odyssey, Odysseus was certainly tempted by the two women Circe and Calypso but then my heart says his not happy with them. He still longed for his wife eventhough years pass thru. Penelope was his inspiration to do everything to come back to Ithaca, he had gone through a lot of sacrifices but then he didn't gave up. Even Calypso offered him immortality he refuses it because being mortal and having your love ones at your life it is to much to ask..

For me LOYALTY and FAITHFULNESS are really tied up together. For when you are not loyal you are not also faithful. In Odysseus' case for me, he was away from Penelope and he know what is his role in Penelope's heart. He had been able to overcome the temptations if only he is very faithful and loyal to Penelope and he will be able to overcome temptations in life. Just like our faith in God the Father, swe can conquer any temptations in life if we have Him and faithful in Him.
Arroz, Jonathan Ray
MWF 8-9
Loyalty and faithfulness almost have the same meaning in dictionary. So I can say that loyalty and faithfulness are tied up together because they are closely related with their meaning. How can a person be loyal to his partner when he is not faithful? Of course there are really temptations in life that will test our faithfulness and loyalty and if we have not build strong foundation about it , there is really a big possibility that we cannot overcome it. Like Odysseus if he had strong foundation of faithfulness and loyalty to Penelope he will be able to overcome the temptations of the goddesses.
Loyalty and faithfulness are tied with one another. It is a miss without one in a relationship.Odysseus is really faithful and his faithfulness brought him home. Let us think about this, he has the choice to stay either with Circe or Calypso but still Penelope occupies so much of his thought every now and then. He never even think to surrender and really fought whatever it takes. Penelope is his life and his everything and no other woman could replace it, nothing even one.
Loalty and faithfulness are the good qualities.For me Odysseus is both loyal and faithful with Penelope.Although he came back long year but his love and trust to Penelope are still. Even i his jouney he face the beautiful goodess only for his to respect of all them..

Love is the only thing in this world that covers up pain and makes someone feel wonderful again. For the first time in her life, Helen experienced the unusual feeling for Paris for she is not forced to love him unlike Menelaus of Sparta who Forced her to marry him where love does not exist in their marriage. We have only one life so we must live it with the best that we can and make things that could make life worth it and above all, happy.
for me i consider that Odysseus are still faithful to penelope because even though he had meet calypso and he did not forget that he has a family left in ithaca that wait for him.
Odysseus was still faithful to Penelope because what has been done with him and the two ladies were just only because of temptation. Anywhere, there is temptation. Unfortunately,at that moment, Odysseus was being tempted but despite of it, he wasn't able to forgot Penelope.Therefore, even though how many times he was being tempted by those seductive women, he still love Penelope.His strong faith and love to his wife, pushes him tom fight againts temptation and conquer the challenges in his life brought to him by Posaidon.

Being loyal is showing commitment to a person and being faithful is the act of loyalty and faithfulness to the one you serve or love. So, obviously the two words are tied with each other. On the case of Odysseus, he was able to live with two different women. Though he has a commitment to Penelope in accordance to their marriage, by the time he wasn't with her, he was deceived.We can't blame him because he was on a long journey.But, i believe that it was not love but lust. I know he loves Penelope, but he was not faithful at all times.

When you consult Mr. Webster, faithfulness and loyalty are indeed linked with each other especially in terms of love..
Eventhough Odysseus had lived with other women namely Circe and Calypso, I can still say that he as a husband had really been so faithful to his wife Penelope because amidst all those tricks and magical powers the women had thrown to him, he still manage to escape or be away from them.. It is because, deep in his heart, he is reserving his true love for Penelope and Telemachus..
And as we have read upon his adventures, he really did his best just to go back to Ithaca..He had fought many weird creatures just to fulfill his longing to his family...
In the end, Odysseus like any other hero, went back to his home and finally meet again his love ones..
in my perception, i defined faithfulness as a sense of believing in one's promises and keeping it even sometimes it causes pain. it is keeping on believing in a certain thing without any assurance if when or where it will become fulfilled.
for me, being faithful is a factor to resist any form of temptation. because you always bare in your heart and mind of what you truly believe, and there is a psychological effect that will cause guilt and fear if you let yourself to commit temptations. and this guilt and fear will lead us to a lifetime regrets. and i believe that the definition of this word will never change through time. because if we keep on believing theres always faith on us.
and about the situation of Odysseus and penelope, i can say that penelope is the one who is faithful to odysseus while odysseus is loyal to penelope. in my own understanding, i can differentiate faithfulness as a desired feelings towards the person we truly love. whatever he hes said and promised, we heartily keep it and believe it to come true and to fulfilled, as if theres no other person will try to destruct your feelings. while loyalty is keeping the real thing, not just keeping it until it will be in real. sometimes loyalty cant resist temptations. a loyal person may forget of what he had promised but still he wanted to be with his/her truly love partner.

Faithfulness for me is one of the most important thing that builds relationship between two persons. But in the case of Odysseus i think its normal to boys because they are known to be polygamous but deep in his heart his real love for Penelope lies. Maybe he just done those things for the sake that he wants to go home and be back to Penelope's arm.

They are synonyms, but I think the circumstances in which they are used are different. Loyalty is an unswerving devotion to a person or a thing. In many ways, this can be positive, but it can also be negative. Stalkers have a kind of loyalty mixed with dangerous behaviors. Faithfulness is steadfast in allegiance, or firm in adherence to promises or in observance of duty. To me, this means doing things that you may not like in efforts to help someone who has earned your faithfulness. Loyalty shifts more than faithfulness in my experience. some would say that if it changes, then it really wasn't loyalty to begin with. Husbands and wives are supposed to be faithful to each other, even when times are tough. However, if they aren't faithful to each other, one of the partners has a newfound loyalty for someone else. This may be temporary, or passing, but faithfulness is forever. in conclusion, Odysseus is faithfull as well as loyal to her wife Penelope though he has an affair with Circe but it doesn't change his love to her because from the inner most of his heart he did not not attempt to forget Penelope in his life.

Because for me, being a faithful person don't have time to get attracted with others and that his/her attention is exclusively for the only one he/she loves. While a loyal person still gets attracted to others, appreciates beauty, flirt in some ways but at the end of the day, a loyal person knows where his/her heart belongs as what Odysseus did...

In the dicctionary faithfulness mean firm and unchanging in attachment to a person cause or like.Loyalty and faithfuness are tied with each other. The definitin of the term change through time dependng on the people's perception, we have diff. understanding. Oddyseus is faithful to Penelope because in many years that he was away, to be with his wife was his only dream. And he was longing for Penelope. He is with the Goddess because of his mission, even he was tempted, for me to be physically present is not the measurement of being faithful but in the heart, the love the he felt to Penelope.

Actually the two words are not the same, but they are just connected in some other way.
Odysseus really have that faithful to Penelope, although he slept with calypso and circe for many years he never forget about his family left in Ithaca. Maybe he just missed someone's touch of love and satisfaction but it does not mean that after all he would live with that God were he slept with. But then again he try to go back home to see and to live with his family. he still have that loyalty to his wife because he never lose hope to go back home.

Faithfulness of Odysseus to her wife Penelope have fall down, as he was on his long journey going back to his promise land of Ithaca. Because Odysseus have had make love to the two goddesses, by his determination to go back home he accept those consequences which can lead to the way to find the solution on how to get back to her beloved Penelope.

No, I don’t think Odysseus is still faithful to Penelope for being faithful requires being trustworthy. In his case, because of his long journey and many trials and challenges he had to face, he engages a relationship to Circe and Calypso to aid his longing to his wife but his action is unacceptable. Does the distance between him and his wife gives him the right to flirt around? No, that is not being truly faithful in my opinion. Although I admire his will of coming back to his wife after being tempted, which proves his loyalty to his wife.
So now, we will see the difference of being faithful as having undivided loyalty while being loyal means even there are lapses in how we do our duties and obligations to the person whom we entrusted our life and dedication, we remain at their side, continuing our constant service and dedication.
...when we talk of faithfulness, you are committed that much to your love one that you don't bother to look for somebody else. you resist every kind of temptation that comes along the way because you are focus to the one you love. loyalty on the other hand, is somewhat related to faithfulness but your attention is not that focus. you still tend to lookf for somebody else, but, at the end of the day you still comes home to the one you really love...
in the case of Odysseus, he has his own reason why he has to be with other women..we just can't blame him for it..but its undeniable that in his heart and mind is his wife Penelope.

FOR its yes,because odysseus is only a human and he have also weaknesses and goddesses are powerful and immortal.but then even if how powerful is the goddesses,the greatest love of odysseus to penelope is the most powerful to all. and for me also faithfulness is the most important to a relationship because without it relationship will not last long and if you have not trust to your husband it will be the way that your family will be broken . and between odysseus and penelope that was the test of faithfulness and how much they love each other.

the words loyalty and faithfulness is hard to differentiate for it has the same thought but has the same meaning.loyalty is being true to the one you love but still tempted to others while faithfulness is loving someone who you focused all your attention and can never be tempted to give affections to another person.as for Odysseus he is loyal to penelope but his faithfulness to her was broken when he slept with the two goddesses during his journey.a true faithful woman is what describes penelope for she had never thought of marrying again for the promise of odysseus always holds her.

This two words have slightly the same meaning in the dictionary but in my opinion loyalty is that you are honest to the one you love as if he or she is the only man or woman in the world and you will not d anything that could hurt him or her. Well, faithfulness is you are just believing on her or him whatever he or she said to you as well as you are telling him the truth. In the odyssey, Odysseus is still loyal and faithful to Penelope because in his adventure even though his slept with the two Goddesses but he does it for the sake of going home to Ithaca where Penelope waits for him.

We can easily tell that Odysseus is really faithful to Penelope. Sleeping with other girls doesn’t mean he’s not faithful, he just granted the request of the goddesses.

Faithfulness and loyalty are words tied with one another but has different meaning. With all those things Odysseus had experience, his loyalty to Penelope still exist but his faithfulness to her depreciated. When he chose to make love with Circe and Kalypso and tried to live with them for many years, He became unfaithful to her wife. He must be trustworthy enough for him to consider as faithful but then he hadn't resisted the temptations around him. For many years of living with other women, He is still longing to come back home and live with his true love-Penelope and to his son, making him still loyal to them but years is long enough before he decided to go back home and prove his loyalty. What he had done shows the difference between his loyalty and faithfulness.

MWF 8:00-9:00
Loyalty is when a man met someone , flirt a little, enjoy the moments but at the end still going back to you. And faithfulness is when a man sees and appreciates beauty of other but keeping you in his head, and would not even flirt with other women.In Odysseus case, he was trapped in the islands of these ever beautiful women and resistance is impossible since the two were goddess and as what Hermes said, "You can't resist a goddess." But Odysseus though having a good time with Circe and Calypso's beds still refuse to remain in either of their islands. Calypso's beauty is far better than the mortal Penelope of course, whose body is subject to deterioration.She offer Odysseus marriage and immortality but he doesn't accept this all for his heart is longing for his wife.
With these i can say that Odysseus is loyal but not faithful. Faithfulness in marriage has a connotation that you vow to never touch other woman but your wife. Maybe in Greek culture, he can be considered as Loyal and Faithful but following the view of a filipina, he is just loyal but not faithful.
Yes, I consider that Odysseus is still faithful to Penelope because even though he lived with Calypso and Circe, still he made his promise to Penelope to came back after a years.
Even though he encounter a lot of danger and sacrifices still he want to came back to Penelope\ because he is loyal to Penelope.
Loyalty and faithfulness may differ some thought but for the name of love it is tied with each other.For me Odysseus is always a loyal and faithful to Penelope even if he has making love with Circe and Calypso.It is a part of his journey to live with the godess may be in order that they can help him to go back to Ithyca because he always longing to go back to Penelope and to his Palace.And that things are such a test if he can really forget his wife and family and as what I knew he is never give up and hoping that he can go back.

I think loyalty and faithfulness relate to each other.In the movie, it is true that Odysseus slept to another women but it does not mean that his faith to Penelope was gone. He only did such thing for the sake that he can return to Penelope.In short, he did a big sacrifice.

LOYALTY AND FAITHFULNESS are the same but have different meaning, Odysseus have been faithful to Penelope for all those years,, he may get laid with Circe and Calypso but his heart is with Penelope, he finds a way back to Ithaca even if poseidon is His enemy just to be with his wife Penelope...
As what I searched in the dictionary faithful and loyal are the same. They are tied to each other. Odysseus happened to have many adventures, and together with the adventure were the challenges that he must take. He happened to have an affair to these two woman but for me it doesn't mean that his loyalty and faithfulness to his wife is lessen or depreciates. That event is part of the consequence and his sacrifices just to survive. He bared wverything just to go back home and live again with his family.
For me faithfulness will only exist especially in a relationship if love abounds. In faithfulness there is love, so if you love each other you are faithful with each other, and it does not change not until you do not love each other anymore.
...faithfulness is apart of a relationshape,if love are there,and have a loyalty also have sacrifice, so that can make a wonderfull family.if you want catch your dream.
Loyalty and faithfulness are the words that a woman definitely wants for their man to have.
To Odysseus, she showed unconditional love for Penelope. His loyalty and faithfulness was put to test during his journey from Troy. Like other relationships, there are some difficulties or problems that an individual should handle for them to make their relationship strong. In this case of Odysseus and Penelope, they had each other above all their struggles.
Loyalty is the time when you give your heart to only one... Faithfulness is when you give efforts in waiting even if you know the possibilities. It's having faith...

Loyalty and faithfulness are closely related to each other but not most likely.As to what Odysseus did, for me, he had'nt been faithful to Penelope for the fact that he had affairs to other women.But I can consider him a loyal husband since after all the temptations he had with the goddesses, he still would prefer to be with his wife Penelope.
faithfulness is very important because the two people should trust with each other they can stay forever.And even though there are trials that pass ,Odysseus have no so he sacrifice in order for him to come back home.
For me oddysseus can be still considered faithful to penelope because when the time cerce and calypso he is, in the situation that its hard to make decession because he need to do it so that he can go home to his native land and to his family.
Faithfulness for me was giving importance, in the way of being seriously honest to someone. partly, i believe it is to resist temptation but depends on the situation what is the real truth as long as that person will told you about it. He/She still faithful. Maybe , it also change through time because sometimes we are engage to a situation where in we need lie. But still we have to remember that lying is a sin.
for me i still consider Odysseus to be faithful or loyal to Penelope because in the movie he was just being tempted by Circe and Calypso but he never forget Penelope. They were just a test how faithful he was. Through how many years his been far to Penelope, Odysseus find ways to came home at Ithaca to have Penelope and Telemachus again. "A faithful person even how long, how far he/she goes time comes he/she will come back.

Sometimes loyalty and faithfulness are described as the same but when searched in the dictionary the two really have a different meaning.
As to Odysseus he was not faithful to Penelope because he lived with Circe and Kalypso for a very long time. If he was really faithful to his wife he would not dare share the same bed with other women except for his wife. But it is true that he had been very loyal to his wife despite the years that he hasn't came home.
Faithfulnes and loyaty between Penelope stil tied. Although Odysseus live with Circe and Kalypso, he still didnot dare to forget his wife nor repacing her. Infact he refused the offering of Kalypso to be immortal.
Yes..he live with them but he didn't
live his heart that Penelope only owns.
Faithfullness and loyalty these words are not really the sme discription, but are linked together especially in terms of love. odysseus is faithful to penelope because even he's far away from his wife,he remains faithful and loyal to penelope even he might lived with those women circe and calypso and not letting himself being seduced to those beautiful women for his heart only belongs to penelope whose also loyal and faithful to him and still hoping and expecting that odysseus will come back home and she did not make herself fall inlove to other guy.

Actually faithfulness depends on how you view it. Yes, it maybe is inflicted with modernization where environment influences human’s social and mental [views] behavior. But most of us stereotypically viewed faithfulness which Merriam Webster meant firm in adherence in observance of duty and we somehow stick to that.
Odysseus in the first place was not loyal, for loyalty is defined as firm resistance to any temptation, which Circe and Calypso were considered as one [temptation] outside Penelope-Odysseus relationship.
a. Loyalty and faithfulness tied with one another? It is. The terms are tied with one another in the sense that they are synonymous. But term being a synonym of the other term does not always indicate the same thought, there is sure difference. In logical perspective, if one is faithful, he/she could either be loyal or not, but if he/ she is loyal then he/ she is always faithful. Simply faithfulness offers a wider point of view when it comes to love.
Example that exemplifies faithfulness:
Your bf is flirting with other women in the morning but at night he could not think of anybody except the love of his life, you.
Example that exemplifies loyalty:
Your bf all day and night long is always thinking of you and has not flirted with someone else for he thought of himself having a commitment, which is your relationship.
b. Odysseus could be considered as faithful but not loyal.
Loyalty implies a strong resistance to temptations while faithfulness offers a lingering impression “understanding human nature: its imperfections and the term forgiveness”.
Faithfulness
An absolute commitment yet is ready to accept imperfections and is willing to give forgiveness. Sees not what is expected and cares what there is to care.
For me, word faithful and loyal are not the same, BUT they have connection. speaking of Hector, he is loyal to Penelope because even though he commit temptation with the 2 girls, he still love Penelope. But we can't consider that Hector still faithful to Penelope bcoz he commit mistakes even though it is called sacrificing.

Faithful and Loyal are two synonymous word, tied with each other.Well, i can honestly say that Odysseus had been adulterous yet faithful due to the fact that he still had chosen Penelope,he's wife in the end.
He might have been with Circe and Calypsu during he's adventurous voyage but most likely its for practicality so that he can soon return to his beloved family,.

Loyalty and Faithfulness, are two words that has different descriptions, but are tied together as one, in terms of love. Actually, it depends on the situation, in the case of Odysseus(Lord of Ithaca), he was under by Circe(the sorceress that turns human into animal)and he had no choice but to take Circe in bed to be able to turn back his men into their normal forms. He was also landed in the island of Calypso(a sea-nymph)were they become lovers in that island. Later on Calypso offered Odysseus to become an immortal but his everlasting love to Penelope never changed. Even if he cant refuse to a goddess or a queen, his love and affection to his wife still remains the same and his being true to his words. Me myself still considers Odysseus as a loyal and faithful husband to his beautiful wife, Penelope.

Loyalty and faithfulness is just tied to each other. But for me, being faithful is somewhat deeper than that of loyalty. Odysseus had been faithful to Penelope but he hadn't been a loyal husband. For his long span of journey, maybe it's just inevitable for a man to long someone who would be there for him physically. I suppose that is the reason why Odysseus stayed with Circe and Calypso. But with all those circumstances he had been, he really strive to be back and be with Penelope. That really manifested how faithful he is.
Loyalty and Faithfulness has just the same significance in a relationship.Odysseus is still faithful to Penelope inspite of those temptation that led him to live w/ the two women.He did it w/ a great sacrifice.At first we can say that Odysseus is not faithful because of that,but he did everything just to get back to Penelope's arms and to be home in Ithaca.
faithfulness and loyalty... somewhat synonymous but not the same. faithfulness is putting your trust into something you cannot prove is there or even exist. Loyalty on the other hand is sticking to a certain feeling group, or something you have committed to, and never abandoning it. Odysseus is not very faithful to her wife because he made other relationship towards other women. Meanwhile,even without certainty that his beloved Penelope is still waiting for him,still he wanted to go home to see her once more and finds out whether she still loves him or not, that proves his loyalty is for his Penelope only!
