i do not like the suitors. i think that they are just out to get the money and the house. and i think that if penelope isn't ready to move on then they should just leave her alone and let her be. i don't think that it is fair for them to go in T's house and eat all his food and try to take his mom away. Then when T tells them to leave they think that he is crazy and that if O comes back they can kill him so they can get Pemelope.
i think that she is smart. i think that if she really doesn't want to get remarried she shouldn't have to. she was smart to weave the shround for her father and undo it at night because it gave her more time.
T is changing because he is becomeing a man. he had to grow up wihtout his father. and now he is having to find out if his dad is still alive or if he is really dead. He has to find out and then he has to get his mom remarried. He is a brave man now because he sets off on an adventure and doesn't know what hes going to find.
book 2 is prety much about how Anthna came and told him what he had to do the night before. so he is calling a meeting and everybody is telling him that he is crazy and that if his dad is alive it won't matter because they can take him because there are alot more of them then just his dad. At the end T is leaving.
in book 5 Odysseus and Calypso are on an island. they have been there for 19 years. Calypso is a sex godess and she offerse O imortality if he agrees to be her husband. He says no because he would rather die then have to spend forever without his wife. even though he does stuff with Calypso he still loves his wife, he crys all day because he misses her and feels guilty.
I think that Odysseus is a good man because he stays comited to his wife and marriage with penelope.
Poseidon is mad because all the other gods chose O's fait without asking him, so he trys to stop O from getting home.
The end of book 5 is when O swimms to Phaeacians and covers himself with leaves.

I think that big O is a bad leader.
He ony looks out for himself. he lets all his men get killed.
His plans never work out and he ends up losing his men
Like when he tries to talk to the cyclopes he loses six men.
He also takes them to circle where some of his men get turned into pigs.
thats y i think that Big O is a bad leader. -
O is just out to get goods and riches from people. He stole the ram and is now trying to sacrafice it to Zues. He doesn't accept it because it isn't his ram.
He is very gredy and is just out to help himself and get more riches for himself. His selfishness is what keeps getting them in truble and gets his men killed
The ritual he does is he sacrofices the ram. he does it several times so he can get closer to the gods. He does it once and zues doesnt acept it.
he digs a pit and puts milk honey then sweet wine, and pure water. then he promises that when he gets to Ithaca he will sacrifice a splended barren heifer and precious gifts.
he then slits the throat of the ram over the pit so the spirits can drink it and he can talk to them
some of the shades he talks to are:
his comrade Elpenor. he asks T to burn all the belongings of his so he can lift his spirt.
theban tiresias. she tells im how he can make it home. she gives him advice so he can make it without getting in trouble. she pretty much tells him his future and says just listen to her and he will be ok.
his mother is probably the most important person he talks to. she tells him that he is still the king and that penelopi is still there waiting for him.
he learns that he will be ok and make it back safly.
i think that he is a hero because he doesn't give up. he is doing whatever it takes to get back to his wife and family. he is also becoming a better listener to the gods.
Eumaeus is a nice man. he takes in O and gives him food and lets him stay in his home even though O is a complete stranger.
we find out that Eumaeus used to work for Odysseus. he was the nices master that eumaeus had ever had. and he wished that he could come back.
i think that he desguised himself because he isn't ready to reviel himself yet. he needs to make it back home and get into his kingdom because he cant go in as himself or he will be killed. He has a plan to get back in and his meeting with Eumaeus proves that it is going to work.
Eumaeus treats him realy well. he was treated well by his master and wants to do the same to others even if it is a stranger.
He lies to her because he isn't ready to tell her. but he tells her that he has met O and that he is alive and well and will be returning very soon. She is starting to get tired of waiting for O because she just misses him so much. she is getting tired of all the suitors taking advantage of her son because she doesn't want to marry any of them.
Eurycleia is cleaning his feet off and she sees the scar and knows that it is O. she is so happy and exited that he is back. she is like his mother she raised him and has been there since he was born. O tells her that she can't tell anybody because he doesn't want the suitors to find out. I think that she is a very nice and caring person. and she keeps his secret because she doesnt want anything to happen to him. she is like part of the family.
on page 398 Penelope says that the first person to shot arows through 12 loops in a row she will marry him.
i dont think that the women are important in this story. the only girls that you hear about are his mom and his nanny. women don't really seem to get a choice. like how penelope has to get married. i think that they only really care about the godesses.
We are leaning that she is finally starting to give up on O. he is right there she just doesn't relize it. i don't blame her or think that she is a bad person because she waited 20 years for someone who everybody told her was dead. i think that she is strong for waiting that long.
i think that all the suitors are very disloyal to him. even if they think he is dead they are in his land and taking stuff from him. and then they make fun of him before he does the chalange even though they don't know its him.
I think that Penelope, T, and eurcila are loyal to him. they never stoped beliving in him.
i think that in the next book there will be a fight because the suitors have been there for years trying to win penelope and now a stranger just walks in and wins.
In this book O kills the suitors. he shows no mercy towards them he doesn't like that they were there taking advantage of his son and trying to steal his wife. O, T, E, and Phil only have little wounds. they killed all but two of the suitors.
then after they kill them they make the unloyal maids clean it all up. after it is clean they take them outside and hang them all.
I think that T and O are still heros but i don't think much of them anymore. they didn't need to kill everybody. i know they were mad but there was better ways they could handle it. Back then it didn't matter and it made them look like heros because it showed that they were strong and powerful and that nobody can mess with them.
and it just shows how things have changed since then.
i think that she is just scared to acept it. she has had to live without him and now she thinks the gods are tricking her. she also wants O so bad she doesnt want to get happy and have it not be him and have to lose him again. She probably feels bad for giving up on him at the end. she waited for him for so long then agreed to marry someone else so she feels guilty.
this has to deal with emotions because she is so happy that it would hurt her so bad if it ended up not being true.
