Answer:

Homer's purpose in having Zeus recall the story of Agamemnon, Clytemnestra, Aegisthus, and Orestes in such detail might be to demonstrate the failures of men and their inability to listen or trust in the words of the gods.

Explanation:

In the hall of Zeus on Mount Olympos, all the gods but Poseidon gather and listen as Zeus reflects upon the moral failings of mortal men. He brings up the example of Aigisthos, who killed Agamemnon and stole his wife, though the gods warned him that Agamemnon's son, Orestes, would someday retaliate - which he justly did. Athena speaks on behalf of Odysseus, pleading with Zeus to free him from Calypso's grasp. He agrees, and the god Hermes will be sent to Calypso to ask her to free Odysseus.

I hope this helps you in any shape or form.

Coming of age. When you are a child of some things that are real, they look like imaginary (like death) and some things that are imaginary, they seem to be real (like a monster). The process of growing up has a lot to do with discovering what is real and what is not. Growing up teaches us life lessons that make us grow up to become good people who care for their family.

The family. The Watsons go through all together. They are family and they are fighting the world as a unit. They love each other, hate each other, irritate each other and try to understand each other.

Friendship. Much affects us. They can be good influences (such as Rufus) or bad influences (such as Buphead), but in any case, who we choose for friends and how we act, has to do with what people we become.

Race. The story is held during the Civil Rights Movement. There were changes in how society treats Afroamericans, and many people who were not happy with these changes responded with hatred and violence. All this makes us think about race.

Mortality. It's a tough lesson for anyone. Especially for 10-year-olds. But that all happened around Watsons. The first dove dies, and then Keny almost drowns, then a bomb in the church kills four little girls. Every time something similar happens, we think about death. And it pushes us, especially Byron and Kenny, to learn some pretty adult lessons about how much death is certain and how fragile the life is.

Guilty. The guilt is quite one of the worst and most powerful feelings. Some of the guilt he experiences is legitimate (as when he hurts Rufus' feelings), but sometimes guilty feelings are related to something we can not control, for things that Kenny can not control (as happened in the church). So the feeling of guilt is not always related to our mistake.
