1. in book 4 of the Odyssey, Odysseus begins with his tale with a complimment
on Phaiakian minstrelsy,
"Alkinnos: king and admiration of men,
how beautiful this is, to bear a minstrel
gifted as yours: a god he might be, singing!
there is no boon in life more sweet, i say,
than when a summer joy holds all thr realm.
and banquetsers sit listening to a harper
in a great hall, by rows of tables heaped with bread and roast meat,
while a steward goes
to die up wine and brim your cups again.
here is the flower of fire, it seems to me!
but now you wish to know my cause for sorrow---
and thereby give me cause for more.
what shall i
say first? what i keep until the end?"
compare this passage with Dante's address to the reader in inferno 4 :
O you possessed of sturdy intellects,
observe the teaching that is hidden here
beneath the veil of verses so obscure.
and consider this appeal on his part in the last canto of inferno:
i did not die, and i was not alive;
think of yourself, if you have any wit,
what i became, deprived of life nd death.
Odysseus and Dante obviously have different expectation for their readers
Try to explain the major differences.
2. Pose yourself a question and answer it best you can.
