I. Identification 20%
1. Who is this "goddess" who gives advice?
"Only instruct me, goddess, if you will,
how, if possible, can I pass Kharybdis,
or fight off Skylla when she raids my crew?"
Swiftly that loveliest goddess answered me:
"Must you have battle in your heart forever?
The bloody toil of combat? Old contender,
will you not yield to the immortal gods?
That nightmare cannot die, being eternal
evil itself--horror, and pain, and chaos;
there is no fighting her, no power can fight her,
all that avails is flight."
2. Who is speaking?
My sons laid low, my daughters dragged away
and the treasure-chambers looted, helpless babies
hurled to the earth in the red barbarity of war...
my sons' wives hauled off by the Argives' bloody hands!
And I, I last of all--the dogs before my doors
will eat me raw,...
3. Who is speaking?
Three times you walked around it, patting it everywhere,
and called by name the flower of our fighters,
making your voice sound like their wives, calling.
4. To whom is this angry speech intended?
Woman, by heaven you've stung me now!
Who dared to move my bed?
No builder had the skill for that--unless
a god came down to turn the trick. No mortal
in his best days could budge it with a crowbar.
5. Who is this woman at work?
She was weaving at her loom, deep in the high halls,
working flowered braiding into a dark red folding robe.
And she called her well-kempt women through the house
to set a large three-legged cauldron over the fire
so Hector could have his steaming hot bath
when he came home from battle...
6. What monster or danger does Odysseus encounter here?
There, as the whirlpool drank the tide, a billow
tossed me, and I sprang for the great fig tree
catching on like a bat under a bough.
7. Who is the speaker of the following passage?
"But I can tell you what to do
to come unchanged from Kirke's power
and disenthrall your fighting crew:
take with you to her bower
as amulet, this plant I know--
it will defeat her horrid show,
so pure and potent is the flower;
no mortal herb was ever so."
8. Who is Phemios?
"Phemios, other spells you know,
high deeds of gods and heroes,
as the poets tell them; let these men
hear some other; let them sit silent
and drink their wine. But sing no more
this bitter tale that wears my heart away."
9. Who is the speaker?
"Let it be a warning
even to you. Indulge a woman never,
and never tell her all you know. Some things
a man may tell, some he should cover up.
Not that I see a risk for you, Odysseus,
of death at your wife's hands. She is too wise,
too clear-eyed, sees alternatives too well,
Penelope, Ikarios' daughter--
that young bride whom we left behind--think of it!--
when we sailed off to war."
10. What doew "the blinding" refer to ?
"...the god, after the blinding--mind, you he does not kill the man; he
only buffets him away from home. But com now, we are all at leisure
here, let us take up this matter of his return, that he may sail. Poseidon
must relent for being quarrelsome will get him nowhere, one god, flouting
the will of all the gods."
List of Characters:
Kharybdis Agamemnon Odysseus Telemachus Penelope

Antikleia Athena Apollo Poseidon Menelaos
Kyklops a minstrel Clytaemnestra Aegisthus Hermes
Priam Cassandra Helen Hermes Andromache

III. Passage Analysis: Read the passage and answer briefly. 20%
(P.S. She said: about 30 words)
1. After hearing Zeus's lament and sad comment on Sarpedon's coming death,
Hera strongly protests:
"Dread majesty, son of Cronus--what are you saying?
A man, a mere mortal, his doom sealed long ago?
You'd set him free from all the pains of death?
Do as you please, Zeus...
But none of the deathless gods will ever praise you."
Why does she say so? What is the relationship between God and fate?
2. Comment on this description of the fatal encounter of Hector and Achilles.
What is the effect that the Homeric poet wants to create?
Hector looked up, saw him, started to tremble,
never gone, he could hold his ground no longer,
he left the gates behind and away he fled in fear--
and Achilles went for him, fast, sure of his speed
as the wild mountain hawk, the quickest thing on wings,
launching smoothly, swooping down on a cringing dove
and the dove flits out from under, the hawk screaming
over the quarry, plunging over and over, his fury
driving him down to beak and tear his kill--
so Achilles flew at him, breakneck on in fury
with Hector fleeing along the walls of Troy,
fast as his legs would go.
3. Discuss the words of Aeneas in the following as a taunt or insult to
one's enemy on the battlefield.
The weapon shaking, planted fast in the ground,
His whole arm's power poured in a wasted shot,
Aeneas flared in anger, shouting out, "Meriones--
great dancer as you are, my spear would have stopped
your dancing days for good if only I had hit you!"
4. In what ways is this description of the tearing Odysseus unusual?
And Odysseus
let the bright molten tears run down his cheeks,
weeping the way a wife mourns for her lord
on the lost field where he has gone down fighting
the day of wrath that came upon his children.
At sight of the man panting and dying there,
she slips down to enfold him, crying out;
then feels the spears, prodding her back and shoulders,
and goes bound into slavery and grief.
IV. Essay Questions: Answer two of the questions below. Write two 200-word
essays as answer. 40%
1. The Odyssey presents a great panorama of womanhood--human women,
goddesses, and monsters. Discuss female powers in this epic.
2. Compare the heroic ideal in the Iliad and the Odyssey. Focus your
discussion on characters such as Odysseus, Achilles, Agamemnon, and Hector.
3. Hospitality is a criterion of civilization and one of the chief virtues of
ancient and heroic cultures. Discuss the nature and extent of hospitality
displayed in the Odyssey.(Polyphemus, the Phaeacians, Menelaos and Helen,
the suitors, etc.)
