ASSIGNMENT:

You learned about love among mortals and immortals, and mortal to mortal love, but there is no greater love than that of Odysseus and Penelope. What about the story of the Odyssey makes you believe in their love and what makes you question their love? What does their sacred tree upon which their house is centered symbolize about their love? Consider that Odysseus spent extended and intimate periods of time with Calypso and Circe, while Penelope remained loyal to him. Does that make him less loyal, or are his liaisons a reflection of ancient Greek culture?

In the Odyssey, Odysseus visits Achilles in the Underworld. Discuss how Achilles feels about his choice now that he is in the Underworld. In the Telemachy (first four books of the Odyssey), Homer describes several united couples, such as Menelaus and Helen, and Nestor and his wife, in contrast to Penelope and the suitors. Why does he spend so much time retelling Agamemnon's fate over the course of Odysseus' travels? In the end of the Odyssey, Odysseus is disguised as a beggar. Is this really a disguise? What makes Odysseus a hero? Why is his goddess protector Athena and not Ares?
