The narrator of the Odyssey invokes the Muse, asking for inspiration as he prepares to tell the story of Odysseus. The story begins ten years after the end of the Trojan War, the subject of the Iliad. All of the Greek heroes except Odysseus have returned home. Odysseus languishes on the remote island Ogygia with the goddess Calypso, who has fallen in love with him and refuses to let him leave. Meanwhile, a mob of suitors is devouring his estate in Ithaca and courting his wife, Penelope, in hopes of taking over his kingdom. His son, Telemachus, an infant when Odysseus left but now a young man, is helpless to stop them. He has resigned himself to the likelihood that his father is dead.

With the consent of Zeus, Athena travels to Ithaca to speak with Telemachus. Assuming the form of Odysseus’s old friend Mentes, Athena predicts that Odysseus is still alive and that he will soon return to Ithaca. She advises Telemachus to call together the suitors and announce their banishment from his father’s estate. She then tells him that he must make a journey to Pylos and Sparta to ask for any news of his father. After this conversation, Telemachus encounters Penelope in the suitors’ quarters, upset over a song that the court bard is singing. Like Homer with the Iliad, the bard sings of the sufferings experienced by the Greeks on their return from Troy, and his song makes the bereaved Penelope more miserable than she already is. To Penelope’s surprise, Telemachus rebukes her. He reminds her that Odysseus isn’t the only Greek to not return from Troy and that, if she doesn’t like the music in the men’s quarters, she should retire to her own chamber and let him look after her interests among the suitors. He then gives the suitors notice that he will hold an assembly the next day at which they will be ordered to leave his father’s estate. Antinous and Eurymachus, two particularly defiant suitors, rebuke Telemachus and ask the identity of the visitor with whom he has just been speaking. Although Telemachus suspects that his visitor was a goddess in disguise, he tells them only that the man was a friend of his father.

Summary: Book 2

When the assembly meets the next day, Aegyptius, a wise Ithacan elder, speaks first. He praises Telemachus for stepping into his father’s shoes, noting that this occasion marks the first time that the assembly has been called since Odysseus left. Telemachus then gives an impassioned speech in which he laments the loss of both his father and his father’s home—his mother’s suitors, the sons of Ithaca’s elders, have taken it over. He rebukes them for consuming his father’s oxen and sheep as they pursue their courtship day in and day out when any decent man would simply go to Penelope’s father, Icarius, and ask him for her hand in marriage.

Antinous blames the impasse on Penelope, who, he says, seduces every suitor but will commit to none of them. He reminds the suitors of a ruse that she concocted to put off remarrying: Penelope maintained that she would choose a husband as soon as she finished weaving a burial shroud for her elderly father-in-law, Laertes. But each night, she carefully undid the knitting that she had completed during the day, so that the shroud would never be finished. If Penelope can make no decision, Antinous declares, then she should be sent back to Icarius so that he can choose a new husband for her. The dutiful Telemachus refuses to throw his mother out and calls upon the gods to punish the suitors. At that moment, a pair of eagles, locked in combat, appears overhead. The soothsayer Halitherses interprets their struggle as a portent of Odysseus’s imminent return and warns the suitors that they will face a massacre if they don’t leave. The suitors balk at such foolishness, and the meeting ends in deadlock.

What character motivation advances the plot?
GREYUIT [131]

The character motivation that advances the plot is:

  • The vizirs envy

This motivation moves the rising action toward:

  • The king rebuking the vizir

<h3>What is a Character Motivation?</h3>

Character motivation refers to the emotion that moves a person to take a certain action. In the story, The Arabian Nights: One Thousand and One Nights we learn of how the Duban cured the King of his ailment without the use of ointments.

This inspired jealousy in one of the King's viziers who concocted a lie about the Duban's intention to kill the king. The king initially believed him but when he finally learned that it was a lie, he rebuked the Vizier.

So, the vizier was motivated by the emotion of envy which was a bad attitude.

Answer:ABC Public School,

60 Mount Merry Road,

Florida,

October 16, 2020.

The Principal,

ABC Public School,

Florida.

Sir,

Sub: Need for inducing moral values in the school

This is to draw your urgent attention to the muddle of immoral and unscrupulous behavior exhibited by some of the students in our school these days which has deranged the discipline, as well as, the regimen of the school. Lately, several incidents have been witnessed which display the lack of ethics and virtue but a defensive action is yet to be taken against them.

There is an urgent requirement of instilling prospect moral values and ethics in the students as these students are the future of the state and going to represent a bigger section of the society. Thus, the school not only prepares the students for achieving success and brilliance but also plays a vital role in determining the ethical and moral fate of the society and responsible for building the character of numerous individuals.

Similarly, the heritage of the school of inculcating discipline and values in the students is being ruined and if this continues, the overall reputation, image, and trust of parents of students towards our school may get affected badly.

Therefore, I request you to take necessary actions in order to ensure the restoration of moral values and ethical code of conduct in our school.

Yours Sincerely,

Sophie

Senior Prefect
