Status Updates From A Odisseia de Homero

"You must put away your sword if you would live in peace" (Hinds 247). This line from Athena serves as a good reminder for not only Odysseus but anyone who is looking for vengeance. Instead of taking up arms to get your revenge, it is better to become the adult of the situation and forgive other people.

"Another man would put his trust in some mortal, but not you; no, even with a god as your guardian, still you mistrust everything" (Hinds 197). This line greatly showcases how Odysseus has turned into a very cautious and paranoid person due to his life of suffering. Many people become very antisocial and never trust anyone due to the fact that they fear being betrayed like Odysseus.

"I would not turn away a man in need, for all beggars come in Zeus's name" (Hinds 157). This quote shows how religion can lead to the goodness of man. Although some religious teachings can make people ignorant, some can make people virtuous and kind towards others. Because all beggars come in Zeus' name, many Greeks would welcome those in need like fellow humans.

i would not want telemachus to be my friend because i think greek mythology is a bit weird and having someone call on the gods and such would weird me out and scare me so thats a big no from me

I can infer that Odysseus in disguise is disgusted at what he is seeing in his hall because he wasn't able to stop what has happened and i can also infer that he is plotting to get revenge because he is sick and tired of all of them,
