D. “So he prayed and Athena heard his prayer but would not yet appear to him undisguised. She stood in awe of her fathers brother, lord of the sea, who still seethed on, still churning with rage against the great Odysseus until he reached his native land.” (Line 361-365 b 5) I found this quote really interesting. It says that Athena is afraid of Poseidon, her father’s brother, and she won’t directly help Odysseus because of that. The line also does a great job of describing Poseidon’s rage by saying he angry and filled with rage. Even though it means Athena is afraid of him, it says she was in awe, which means she both fears him but also respects him.
I. I agree with Jackson one of my favorite quotes from book six was, “ With that the bright-eyed goddess sped away to Olympus, where, they say, the gods’ eternal mansion stands unmoved, never rocked by galewinds, never drenched by rains, nor do the drifting snows assail it, no, the clear air stretches away without a cloud, and great radiance plays across the world where the blithe gods live all their days in bliss.” I enjoyed this quote because I thought it was easy to understand and also very descriptive, and was able to imagine a large mansion that was unmovable.
G. If I were Nausicaa I would feel very confused. Based on the reading I can assume that Nausicaa is not a very attractive girl. So I wouldn’t understand as to why my friend in my dream told me to look better for men because I would usually never try to look good for a guy on the Phaecian island.
