This last chapter tied so well to the movie, mostly because I've never had any thoughts on Antinous - I don't even know if particularly remembered him when I read this the first time... but now having seen the movie, he's prominent in my mind, which made it so much better... and the writing is just so GOOD!!!

As it has now been clear, I watched the Odyssey, and I'm just rereading things... I was a bit disappointed with some of the writing choices with Penelope, so I'm coming back to one of my favorite books!!! And reminded how much I LOVE the writing here!!! The structure here, with Penelope and the maids speaking directly to us from the after life!!!
