The antiquated prose of this book is still throwing me off but I'm listening to the audiobook by Claire Danes, the two-book Odyssey and Iliad version. I never understood why the suitors were permitted to remain in Penelope's house. Wasn't Odysseus the King of Ithaca? So Telemachus, supposedly a baby when Odysseus left for Troy, was the heir? Why did she have to marry another?

Listening to the Claire Danes Audible Iliad & Odyssey. I forgot who antiquated the writing, prose, and translation is. Greek gods punishing Odysseus for some reason, I forgot about that lame tie-in. I wonder why we were rooting for the Greeks when they sacked Troy, as in invaded another country for no other reason than conquest.
