Aiolos,
the Wind King
Your turn...
- You are Odysseus, and you have just
awakened from your ill-timed nap to discover what your
crew has done with Aiolos's gift. How would you assess
your own leadership in this situation? Could you have
done anything to prevent this outcome, and the resulting
years of delay in finally reaching your home? Write
your response.
- Discuss the use of irony in this episode. Write
your response.
- What more do we learn about the gods from
Aiolos's second reaction to Odysseus? He doesn't want to
help a loser, it seems... Does he blame Odysseus for what
happened? Write your response.
