Sea Perils and Defeat
THE ODYSSEY translated by Robert Fitzgerald
1. What dangers do Kirke warn Odysseus about?
2. Describe how Odysseus is able to get by the sirens? What does the anecdote again reveal about man’s ego?
3. What happened at the next obstacle that Kirke had warned Odysseus about?
4. Decribe the confrontation between Odysseus and Eurylokhos? How is this debate fulfilling a foreboding from Teiresias and Kirke?
5. What did Zeus do to Odysseus’s crew?
