Status Updates From A Odisseia de Homero

"Ah, how shameless—the way these mortals blame the gods. They themselves, with their own reckless ways, compound their pains beyond their proper share" (Hinds 52)
I choose this quote because it discusses the idea that humans avoid putting themselves at fault in order to keep their prides from shattering. It makes a statement that this idea is not something to revere.

"Sing to me o muse of that man of many troubles, Odysseus skilled in all ways on contending who wondered far after he helped sack the great city of troy. Sing through me and tell the tale of his suffering his trials and adventure and his bloody homecoming" (Hinds 1). This quote tells the reader what the book will be about. The quote is paired with an establishing shot which provides further world building.
