It seems like it will be a good story, but confusing. I want to call Homer crazy, but from what I know of the plot line, the story looks intriguing, and I can't wait to read more.

First Thoughts on the Odyssey
I feel kind of bad for Odysseus (or Ulysses, depending on the translation). He's stuck on an island with someone who is constantly trying to get him to fall in love with her. Also, he didn't get to see his son grow up. But then, Telemachus is speaking to Athena (or Minerva) about finding his father. And in the midst of everything, Penelope, Odysseus' wife, is weeping over her lost husband.

I had a lot of the same feelings.
ReplyDeleteOne question: why can't everyone stick to their own spouse? It'd be so much simpler, and more moral.
