NOTE: Since I goofed and posted the wrong questions for Tuesday's class, I went ahead and gave everyone extra time (until Thursday) to turn in today's questions. With that in mind, I'm also going to change the schedule a little: instead of doing the Reading Exam #3 in class on Thursday (as per the syllabus), we're going to read two more short books (9 and 10) and I'll give you just one question below, which will be like a 'take home' Reading Exam.
Answer this question for Thursday's class...
Q1: Based on the events of Books 9 and 10, do you consider Odysseus a hero? If so, what kind of hero is he? What makes him 'heroic'? Is he basically an ancient version of a modern-day superhero like Batman or Thor? And if not, what makes him miss the mark? Does he lack morality? Nobility? Vision?
