Odyssey Book 12 ~
After passing through the dead, they plug their ears so that they don’t hear the hummings of the Sirens. They avoid the Charybdis and lands on the island of Sun. Odysseus men kill a cattle, which Zeus punishes them and Odysseus lives the attack alone.

I was digging deeper into book 11 and 12 and found out that Odyssey encounters Elpenor during traveling through Land of the Dead. He then goes back to give Elpenor a proper burial in book 12.

Odyssey Book 11 ~
Does Odysseus and his crew still not notice that Elpenor, the youngest rank, had killed himself? They just kind of go on their day in the underworld, not noticing that one their youngest crew member had died.

Odyssey Book: 12 ~
Odyssey states that his men had not listened to the warnings Circe had given them, “my men disregarded all warnings and sacrificed his cattle.” This just shows how ignorant and neglected Odysseus’ men are to situations.

Odyssey Book 10 ~~~>

Odyssey Book 10 ☆
Why does every person/people (or creature) Odysseus encounters it’s either they have a good intention or a Malicious intent? Is it just a tool used to make the story interesting and extend the story?

Odyssey Book: 8 ༄
King Alcinous starts a banquet for Odysseus, which Phaeacian sets up sports and entertainers. Demodocus sings about the Trojan Horse, which makes Odysseus tear up. The king orders him to stop and asks Odysseus his name and a course to set sail to.

Odyssey Book: 8 ~
Odysseus throws a heavy disk which he “threw with such a rush of wind”, and, “landed far beyond their own best shots.” This term of wording shows that Odysseus demonstrates his anger and strength to the sailor and the people at the banquet.

Odyssey Book: 8 ~
Odysseus shows that he has a sad side to him and gets offended when the entertainers talk about the past. “The hero’s eye went cold.” “Once more Odysseus cried to his mantle, and once more the king ordered a halt to the entertainment.”

This is Odyssey Book 7 by the way. :)

[nl @Y_H_W_H__]

King Alcinous exclaims “a supplicant with honorable intentions, humbled in the ashes!”, which the king express towards Odysseus. This sentence means that Odysseus is praying to god with good intent and even at his situation he is still respectful. #Odychacter #OdyDiction

Odyssey Book: 7 ~
“The king and his courtiers were banqueting in this splendor, but Athena wrapped Odyssey in a mist so that he passed unseen.”
