1. Athena appearing to Telemachus in the guise of the human Mentes is an example of what way of acquiring information or knowledge in the poem?
2. Prophets are great sources of accurate information in the poem. Why isn't their information more often followed?
3. Signs are tricky in the poem. As a suitor says, not every bird comes from the gods. How does Odysseus overcome this problem when he asks for a sign in book 20?
4. Besides rumor, direct conversation, prophecy, signs or poetry, what's another way to get directions from the gods in the world of the Odyssey?
