About this ebook
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:
#1 The Odyssey is a book full of departures and arrivals. It is the story of Odysseus, who struggles for a decade to return home after the Trojan War, and his son, Telemachus, who searches for his father.
#2 When Odysseus visited the palace of King Alcinoos, the king ordered his queen, Arete, to draw a bath for their guest. Homer describes it in the deliberate, formulaic terms reserved for important customs.
#3 The Odyssey is a tall tale, but it does describe the power of the bath. It turns nice-looking young men into near-divinities, and Odysseus gains strength and height when his old nurse bathes him.
#4 The Odyssey is a book about Odysseus, who is away from home for twenty years. When he returns, he finds his father, Laertes, digging in his vineyard. Laertes’ clothes are dirty and patched, and he is wearing a goatskin hat, an emblem of rustic poverty.
