  2. What do you think about Telemakhos is this book? Explain.
  3. AP Credit: Odysseus the bard. And… Go!
  4. Does Penelope know that the beggar is Odysseus? Why or why not?
  5. Why does Antinoös wait to try the bow? Do you think he would have succeeded?

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.
