Greek Epics XXXI: Odyssey Book 6, or The Princess and the Frog

Posted byTriumvir ClioPosted inGreek Epics, The Greeks

Meet the Phaiakhians. And their princess Nausikaa. And watch Nausikaa meet Odysseus.

Discussion Prompts
  1. The poet describes Nausikaa as being like Artemis. Then Odysseus calls her Artemis. Is Odysseus being sincere?
  2. What do you like to do to celebrate laundry day?
  3. What would be wrong with Nausikaa bringing Odysseus home?
  4. Why does Nausikaa tell Odysseus to go to her mother and not her father?

I have a BA in History and Classical Civilization from Loyola University Chicago and an MPH from Western Michigan University. I've been a geometry teacher, a religion teacher, a writing tutor. I'm a writer, a knitter, a dancer, a singer, an actor. And, yes, for fun I like to reread everything that was assigned while getting my classics degree.
