5. Book 8, Due Friday, 10/2

5.   Lines 430-512 narrate many of the gives Odysseus will take away from Phaeacia. Nausicaa’s response is “a winning flight of words”, that Odysseus should “remember me at times. Mainly to me you owe the gift of life” (516-520). Odysseus leaves with goods, but he also leaves with a burden. Which is greater (bigger, grander), the good or the burden? Why? Consider lines 520-525.
