-Quotes-
"No need to wonder any more, Sir, who called this session. the distress is mine."-T
"she makes a name for herself..."-Antinous
"Old man go tell the omens for your children at home, and try to keep them out of trouble. I am more fit to interpret this than you are. Bird life aplenty is found in the sunny air, not all of it is significant. As for Odysseus, he perished far from home. You should have perished with him"-Eurymachus
"it is so clear that no one here remembers how like a gentle father Odysseus ruled you."-Mentor
Notes-
T calls the Achaens to an assembly. He yells and complains about how the suitors are wasting away his properity and his money of his fathers. half of them think its P's fault for misleading them and do not leave, but then the other half agrees with T. They all leave without making a conclusion.
They leave quitely during the night. He askes his nurse not to tell P about the departure or the adventure so it does not worry her.
T gets supplies. and Athena helps T out by getting a crew and a ship and also supplies.
T is really becoming responsible in this section. Even at the assembly he sits in his father's seat, and the elders do not challenge him about it.
Eurycleia is the nurse. T trusts her more than he trusts his mother. She helps T get wine and food for the journey.
