“Telemachus is consistent in his notion that masculine maturity means the suppression and exclusion of women and the suppression of female voices.”

“…the gods of ‘The Odyssey’ ensure that good people, like Odysseus, are rewarded…” & “Aristotle…may hint at this interpretation…he says that ‘The Odyssey’ has a double structure, and ends in opposite ways for the ‘better’ and ‘worse’ characters.” “But ‘better’ is not the same as ‘good’, and the word Aristotle uses can simply mean ‘more noble’ or ‘higher class’.”
