Select one of the above episodes (BUT NOT THE CYCLOPS EPISODE) and write a 3–5 page essay organized according to the general outline below. Using details from the text, carefully fashion and support an argument that addresses the following questions:

You are not allowed to use any other sources besides The Odyssey (this especially includes summaries or online analyses). You may, however, use an online searchable version of The Odyssey in order to find supporting quotes–only if you then use the Fagles translation used in this course to type out those quotes (Do not cut and paste). Use parenthetical citation according to MLA format. Choose short, pithy quotes to make your point rather than long summative passages. Analyze; do not summarize. Assume the reader of your essay has already read The Odyssey and doesn’t need to know “what happens next.” Instead, your task is to convince your reader of a certain interpretation of the text.
