Reading Notes: Homer's Odyssey, Part B

Homer's Odyssey translated by Tony Kline: Source

  • Lots of ghosts. could be fun to have them play tricks on Odysseus's crew.
  • Could be fun to expand on the fate of Agamemnon and tell his tale in greater detail.
  • Might be interesting to explore what all the ghosts are doing in Hades.
  • Could be interesting to see what would happen if Odysseus's crew followed his commands and released him while passing the sirens.
  • Might be fun to explore what would have happened if Odysseus and his crew safely passed by the Scylla.
  • Honestly, part B was less interesting than part A simply because it focuses so much on ghosts. Without having a sense of who all the ghosts are, it loses its impact. 
Odysseus and the sirens by H.J. Draper. I find the look on his face amusing.
