https://padlet.com/jcajka2/4tbyls79950n Why does Odysseus stay so long? en-us 2020-03-31 02:35:11 UTC 2020-05-14 14:28:26 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/jcajka2/4tbyls79950n/wish/484207302 I think that Odysseus stayed with Circe so long because he was desiring a woman's attention. This is really depressing when you think about patient Penelope waiting faithfully for her husband. While we don't have any confirmation of Odysseus being unfaithful, it still wasn't right for him to stay so long with a female who wasn't his wife.

It's also like the island of lotus-eaters. Circe is tempting Odysseus to sleep with her, so that he would forget about his wife and son, and its working, because his men had to drag him away.]]> 2020-03-31 13:06:49 UTC https://padlet.com/jcajka2/4tbyls79950n/wish/484337550 https://padlet.com/jcajka2/4tbyls79950n/wish/484411607 the god hermes warns odysseus and gives him a herb for one of circes potion. and protected by the herb he is able to overthrow circe]]> 2020-03-31 13:36:05 UTC https://padlet.com/jcajka2/4tbyls79950n/wish/484411607 https://padlet.com/jcajka2/4tbyls79950n/wish/485039878 I think Odysseus is just procrastinating. He knows he has a long journey ahead and he knows he going to run into problems and here there is food, water, protection, and nothing really to worry about. He probably is trying to enjoy himself because most of his men were eaten and he has been almost killed.]]> 2020-03-31 17:29:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jcajka2/4tbyls79950n/wish/485039878 https://padlet.com/jcajka2/4tbyls79950n/wish/485139662 I agree with Lydia that he actually just needed some attention from a woman. Even though this may have been true I believe that Odysseus probably also felt really bad about betraying his wife which is why he continued on his way instead of staying as he was so tempted.]]> 2020-03-31 18:16:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jcajka2/4tbyls79950n/wish/485139662 https://padlet.com/jcajka2/4tbyls79950n/wish/485386898 I feel like he is just taking his time and is procrastinating .]]> 2020-03-31 20:35:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jcajka2/4tbyls79950n/wish/485386898
