Warriors, Farewell
THE ODYSSEY translated by Robert Fitzgerald
1. Where is Hermes leading the suitors to and where is he leading them to? How does the scene serve as falling action?
2. Why does Odysseus attempt to deceive his father?
3. Why is Eupeithes so angry? How does he lobby for the Ithakans’ support?
4. How is the final death a fitting conclusion?
5. How does the final showdown between the two sides conclude?
6. How does Athena’s role throughout the story appear to fuel a driving theme of the time?
