The Odyssey - BOOK 1
- The poet invokes the Muse to help him tell the story of Odysseus.
- We learn that Poseidon, god of the sea, holds
a grudge against Odysseus and is making the
guy's voyage home pretty difficult.
- This tells us two very important things: (1) Greek gods
are temperamental, and (2) Poseidon is a powerful guy.
- So Poseidon isn't around on Mount Olympus, while the other
gods discuss the fact that this one guy Orestes murdered this
other guy Aigisthos.
- Zeus, king of the gods , says that Aeigithus totally deserved it because he had a
long affair with Agamemnon's wife while he was away at Troy and then killed Agamemnon upon returning
home.
