Polites died believing that the world is kind, and yet his death contributes to Odysseus deciding to become a monster. Absolutely devastating

I love that in the final verse Tiresias sounds so genuinely concerned, so genuinely disheartened that Odysseus didn’t understand his prophecy. You could hear how heartbroken he was that he couldn’t tell Odysseus more. Couldn’t be more clear with him. he repeats it that he understands but I guess Tiresias has no real way of knowing whether or not he did.

The fact that both Penelope and Anticlea were waiting for Odysseus, they sang with longing, waiting, no matter how long it would take before he came back home. Only one will ever see him return back home, and even then he is a changed man, he’s no longer the same
