Go to Hades


Homework: Read Book XI and visit Tiresias in Hades.

In addition to the reading, please identify two Greek heroes I've discussed at length and how they reflect nostos and kleos (based on their description in Hades). Also, look for the comments of one of these heroes and what the comments say about Homer's image of nostos, kleos and Odysseus.
Write a response (paragraph) on what Homer is telling us about kleos and nostos. Which is most important and cite the text to prove your point.
