Well the next lovely question is

Who says the following and why?

"That's why noble Eurytus died a sudden death:
no old age, creeping upon him in his halls . . .
Apollo shot him down, enraged that the man
had challenged him, the Archer God." *


Demodocus is warning Broadsea to not anger "god-like" Odysseus.
Demodocus is warning Odysseus to temper his ego so he does not anger the gods.
Odysseus is teaching Broadsea an important lesson in humility.
Odysseus is remembering not to boast too much and is showing reverence to the gods.

Answer 24

Who says the following and why?

Hear me, my lords and captains of Phaeacia!
Let Demodocus rest his ringing lyre now—
this song he sings can hardly please us all. *


Odysseus is pleading with his hosts to stop the song. It is too sorrowful.
Odysseus is unimpressed with Demodocus's skills as a bard.
Alcinous is halting the song because Odysseus is crying—again.
Alcinous is hungry and is tiring of song.

Phaeacian ships steer themselves.

Phaeacian ships have no helmsman or steering oar, for the ships themselves know our thoughts and wishes, and the cities of men, every fertile country, and hidden by mist and cloud they speed over the sea's wide gulf, and never fear damage or shipwrec

Oh aha nice, btw I have like 1 more question but it's like a writing question xc

From what Alcinous says about Phaeacia's ships, is there any chance that they will fail to get Odysseus home? How do you know? Answer in complete sentences.

Answer 39

Leader and Counsellors of the Phaeacians, listen while I speak as my feelings prompt me. This stranger, whose name I do not know, has come to my house in his travels from east or west. He asks for his passage home, and seeks our confirmation. Let us further his going, as with others in the past. For no one who comes to my house waits here long, grieving for lack of help. So, let us run a black ship down to the glittering waves for her maiden voyage, and choose fifty-two young men from the town, who have proved themselves before. And when they have duly lashed the oars in place, come ashore quickly to my house and ready a feast: I will provide enough for all. These are my orders for the crew, and you sceptered Princes come on now to the fair palace, and let us entertain the stranger there: let no one refuse
