There are many strong female characters in The Odyssey, both mortal
(Penelope, Nausikaa, Helen) and immortal (Kalypso, Athena, Kirke). Discuss the
place of women in the Odyssey, the possibly different roles played by mortal vs
immortal women, and whether different rules govern their behavior.
Basically: are all women in the odyssey oppressed or are there circumstances like being immortal that change their position in the story? How do the different types of women compare and contrast?
Include quotes with page numbers from Robert Fitzgerald′s translation of the odyssey.
