Ms. Choe's favorite lines ...
1. "Mulling it over, I thought I'd scout the ground -- that fire aglow in the smoke, I saw it, true, but soon enough this seemed the better plan: I'd go back to shore and the swift ship first, feed the men, then send them out for scouting" (10.169-170).
Odysseus is so brave.
2. "Come, sheath your sword, let's go to bed together, mouunt my bed and mix in the magic work of love -- we'll breed deep trust between us" says Circe.
Odysseus responds, "Mount your bed? Not for all the world. Not until you consent to swear, goddess, a binding oath you'll never plot some new intrigue to harm me!" (10.370-382).
Protip from Odysseus: Never engage in trustful conversations until you are assured that you'll be safe from intrigues.
