After everyone has left the feast for the night, Queen Arete asks Odysseus for his story because:

She sees he is wearing clothes that belong to them

Odysseus' story to the king and queen included all of the following EXCEPT:

His harrowing journey to reach their island

King Alcinous is angry, briefly that his daughter:

did not escort Odysseus home herself

did not give Odysseus food to eat

did not warn them about the impending visitor

did not give Odysseus her horse

King Alcinous offers, if Odysseus wants to stay:

a right-hand position in his sentry

This quote is said about King Alcinous:

"never suffers strangers gladly"

"lacks nothing in good sense and judgment"

Why did Athena disguise Odysseus as he made his way to the palace of Alcinous?

so he wouldn‟t be harassed by the xenophobic Phaeacians

so he wouldn‟t be pursued by women who are attracted to his godlike qualities

so he wouldn‟t be recognized by Poseidon‟s spies in Phaeacia

so he wouldn‟t frighten the Phaeacians and ruin his chances of seeing the queen

Why did Alcinous think that Odysseus was a god?

Odysseus suddenly appeared at Arete‟s feet

Nausicaa intentionally dressed Odysseus as a god

Nausicaa forewarned her father of the strange man‟s arrival.

Athena shed a golden grace upon Odysseus.

What prompted Arete to question where Odysseus came from?

She recognized the mantle and tunic Odysseus was wearing.

Athena put it in her mind to begin questioning Odysseus

He reminded her of Agamemnon, who stayed at her palace after the Trojan War

She was assessing him as a possible husband for Nausicaa.

How did Odysseus assure Alcinous that Nausicaa should not be reprimanded for not escorting him to the palace

Odysseus declared that he refused out of fear of making Alcinous angry

Odysseus claimed that he convinced Nausicaa to maintain her reputation and honor

Odysseus explained that Athena made him invisible to Nausicaa

Odysseus expressed regret for not accepting Nausicaa‟s invitation to be accompanied

Why does Homer include a song about the tryst between Ares and Aphrodite?

It alludes to the day when Odysseus, like Hephaestus, will retaliate against those who have tried to steal his wife.

It provides a backdrop for Demodocus the bard to showcase his skills as a reflection of Homer‟s own poetic skills.

It draws the audience‟s attention away from Odysseus‟s troubles and acts as an interlude

It foreshadows the story Odysseus is about to tell skillfully in comparison with Demodocus‟s lyric skills.

What prompted Alcinous to finally ask Odysseus who he was?

Odysseus began to weep at Demodocus‟s song.

Alcinous wanted Odysseus to marry his daughter

Arete became impatient and pushed Alcinous to ask.

Nausicaa whispered to Alcinous her suspicions of Odysseus‟s identity.
