  • What do you think about the St. John’s curriculum?
  • What do you think about how tutors must be able to teach in any part of the curriculum?
  • If Odysseus’s “last adventure” will be to go inland where the inhabitants don’t even recognize oars, can we draw a conclusion about the contrast between this late-life journey and one that risks dramatic death by drowning? How do you think this last adventure could bring closure to Odysseus’s journeys?
  • Hintze says that Penelope is young for her age and she imagines dying tragically, as young people often do. Yet dying dramatically and “tragically” is, in a way, what kleos is all about. Is kleos in its essence a young person’s ideal? How does this tie in with the epic’s concept of often undignified mortality?
