Telemachus has a hard time believing that Odysseus is his father because he was just a baby when Odysseus left for the Trojan War, so he has no memories of his father. Additionally, there have been suitors in their home claiming Odysseus will never return, which has further fueled Telemachus's doubts.

What is the parallel between the suitors on Ithaka and the men with Odysseus?

The suitors at Ithaka were unwise beasts, wild animas who did what ever it took to get what they wanted (penelope) and didn't succeed. Odysseus' men were wild, foolish beasts who fell for lots of tricks on their journey, (just like the suitors) and didn't get what the sought so hard to get.. they didn't get home. They tried and failed. Just like the suitors.


What modern expression do you use that alludes to Scylla and Charybdis?

"Caught between a rock and a hard place" is a modern expression that alludes to the situation faced by Odysseus when navigating between Scylla and Charybdis in Greek mythology. It refers to being in a difficult dilemma with two equally challenging options.


What strategies does Odysseus use to overcome Scylla and Charybdis?

The strategy or choice he had was to lose several men or to lose all his men. Charybdis, being a whirlpool, would cause Odysseus to lose everyone whereas Scylla, being a monster, would mean he lost several men. It is a classic example of being between a rock and a hard place or a Catch-22 where whichever choice he makes, people will die. So he chooses to lose a few rather than all.


How did slave owners view their slaves?

Many slave owners viewed their slaves as property rather than individuals, believing they had the right to control and exploit them for their own benefit. They often dehumanized slaves, denying them basic human rights and treating them as commodities for labor and economic gain. This perspective justified the mistreatment and oppression of slaves in the institution of slavery.
