1. Choe's favorite lines:
"Great Odysseus melted into tears, running down from his eyes to wet his cheeks ... as a woman weeps, her arms flung round her darling husband ..." (8.585-588)
Sigh. Such gender-normative language.
"Nausithous use to say that lord Poseidon was vexed with us because we escorted all mankind and never came to grief. He said that one day, as a well-build ship of ours sailed home on the misty sea from such a convoy, the god would crush us ..." (632-637).
Oops. Guess what'll happen. Oh, Odysseus.
