The Beggar at the Manor
THE ODYSSEY translated by Robert Fitzgerald
1. What news of Odysseus does Telemachos give his mother upon his return to town?
2. What does Theoklymenos inform Penelope of?
3. How is Odysseus’s meeting with Melanthios on his way to town a foreshadow; how is it symbolic as well?
4. While waiting outside the manor Odysseus spots his old hunting hound, how is this also symbolic?
5. Describe three important events that occur when Odysseus enters the manor to beg.
