I wrote this down before, but forgot to post this.
I can't believe it, but I'm actually starting to like the Odyssey. I am understanding more of the characters, as well as the plot/storyline, and the old grammar structures. About the story itself: I like that Odysses has finally told the people among him who he really is, and I'm anxious to see their reacting. The part about how sad and despairing while with Calypso, in my opinion, had a bit too much details. If they wanted us to be sad right along with Odysses, they succeeded. I'm now wondering when Odysses and Telemachus will finally be reunited, or if the whole point of the story is that after so much trouble, they never see each other again? Or will Odysses return to his home, but Telemachus not know it, so he will continue looking? I am full of speculation, but I'm still glad I'm starting to understand the Odyssey.
