Greek Epics XLIV: Odyssey Book 19, or Scar Face, I Mean, Leg

Posted byTriumvir ClioPosted inGreek Epics, The Greeks

Memories are triggered by the scar on Odysseus’s leg in Book 19 of The Odyssey.

Discussion Prompts
  1. Do you think Penelope knows who she’s talking to? Why or why not?
  2. How long do you think the shroud has been finished? Why?
  3. What do you think of the interaction between Eurykleia and Odysseus?
  4. AP Credit: The Odyssey as a metaphor for memory. Discuss.

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.
