Choose your own adventure...

Quite a few things happen in Book 13...The Phaikians bring Odysseus home, they get punished for that by Posiedon, Posiedon gets angry with Zeus, Odysseus gets angry with the Phaikians (temporarily), etc.  For this blog entry, select an event or a passage that you think is significant and interesting and then explain why you think so. Feel free to focus on major topics, really small and specific lines or anything in between.

All those folks in the underworld...

In class on Thursday, a number of you expressed confusion about why Odysseus describes so many different groups of people in the underworld. For this entry, select one of those groups and write about what you think the significance of that group's inclusion is.  You are welcome to write about one of the individuals that Odysseus describes if you would prefer.
