Classics, 1/23, 3rd period

"Hello, class. My absence last Wednesday was unavoidable; I trust it has not caused problems for you in your studies.

I had asked for you to read The Odyssey over the weekend; in case your vocabulary was insufficient to the Greek, or your time insufficient to the reading, I am now passing out a synopsis.

Your question for the day is this: Odysseus suffered greatly during his journey homeward. Was the suffering the result of choices he made, or was it unavoidable? How can we determine which is which?

We will conclude this unit with a quiz on Wednesday."

[OOC: Question borrowed from here.]

Murphy signs in.

"Some things could have been avoided. If Odysseus had told th' crew right upfront about Aeolus baggin' the' storm winds, they'd of believed him an' left it alone. Instead, he keeps it secret, leavin' them ta fall t'their curiosity an' greed. That mess hadn't happened, they'd of been home with little hassle in comparison."

Connor signs in behind his brother. Sometimes, he just likes to let Murphy lead.
