The Odyssey: Books VIII-XVII

I enjoyed this section of the book. I am glad to see Ulysses and Telemachus both together and safe (ish) for the moment. I am predicting that they will over power the suitors, but that Ulysses will get injured, and maybe die. I hope that Eumaeus doesn't get dragged into the disagreements between the Suitors and Ulysses, but he probably will support Ulysses because of his loyalty. Yet again, I found spelling and grammar errors. They are getting very tiresome. I am still intrigued by the difference in the culture then, and now, and the differences between their religon and mine.

  1. It is nice to finally see the loose ends wrapped up after reading the book for so long, isn't it?
    Nice prediction!
    I find the differences in the date and the religion interesting as well.

  2. Yeah, seeing this long rambling tale beginning to get resolved is kind of nice.
