Soliloquy

Do you think Oedipus made the right choice to run away from Corinth after hearing the prophecy? Why or why not?

Is Athena's intervention at the end of the Odyssey a convincing and meaningful way of putting an end to the struggle between the Ithacans? Why or why not?

Some scholars (from the library of Alexandria in the third and second centuries BC) have suggested that the book truly ends when Odysseus and Penelope go to bed and the last book was added by someone other than Homer. While others suggest it should end with the important reunion between Odysseus and Laertes. The poem ends with Athena forcing both sides to swear an oath of peace. The ending of the epic, however, does not feel like the ending of the story. Odysseus still has to go on raids in order to gain back livestock and wealth, as well as journey to offer a sacrifice to Poseidon. None of these adventures are depicted in the epic. After seeing the last bit of trickery (against his father) and battle rage (against the attackers), it is difficult to imaging that Odysseus will every truly settle down at home.
