Question

Why do you think the author chose to begin telling the story at this point?
What do you predict Odysseus will encounter as he continues his journey homeward?
What did you learn about Odysseus as an epic hero during the flashbacks?
In what ways does the author reveal the setting, both time and place, of the epic poem? Give at least one example.

Answer 1

That's multiple questions. A bit much for one question.
Maybe you should specify the story, unless it is the entirety of The Odysseus.

Answer 2

1. Usually some dramatic purpose.
2. That's really up to you. Make a logical guess.
3. Flashbacks are when they refer to events before.
4. Time and place- So what does the author describe in the environment, the characters, their clothing, the technology, etc.

Answer 3
