“Telemachus, go and call the nurse here,

Eurycleia, so I can speak to her.

Something’s on my mind—I want to tell her.”

After Odysseus spoke, Telemachus obeyed

what his dear father said. He shook the door and called

to Eurycleia, saying:

“Get up, old woman,

born many years ago—the one in charge

of female household servants in our home.

Come on out. My father’s calling for you.

He has something in mind and wants to talk.

Come now, tell me about the women in these halls,

the ones who disrespect me and the ones

who bear no blame.”

His dear nurse Eurycleia

then answered him and said:

“All right my child, [420]

I’ll tell you the truth. In these halls of yours,

there are fifty female servants, women

we have taught to carry out their duties,

to comb out wool and bear their slavery.

Of these, twelve women in all have acted

without a sense of shame and no respect

for me or even for Penelope.”

Resourceful Odysseus [430]

then answered her and said:

“Those women who before all this

behaved so badly, tell them to come here.”

Once he said this, the old woman went through the house

to tell the slaves the news and urge them to appear.

Odysseus then summoned Telemachus to him,

together with Eumaeus and Philoetius.

He spoke to them—his words had wings:- hyperbole

“You three men,

start carrying these corpses outside now,

then punish those shameless servant women.

Have them clean these splendid chairs and tables,

and wipe them with sponges soaked in water.

Once you’ve put the entire house in order, [440]

then take those servants from the well-built hall - epithet

to a spot outside between the roundhouse

and the sturdy courtyard wall and kill them.(4)

Slash them with long swords, until life is gone

from all of them, and they cannot recall

Aphrodite and how they loved the suitors

when they enjoyed sex with them in secret.”

Odysseus spoke. The crowd of women servants came,

wailing plaintively and shedding many tears.

First they gathered up the bodies of the dead

and laid the corpses out beneath the portico,

leaning them on one another in the well-fenced yard. [450]

Odysseus himself told them what they had to do

and hurried on the work. The women were compelled

to carry out the dead. Once that was done, they cleaned

the splendid chairs and tables, wiping off the gore

with porous sponges soaked in water. Telemachus,

along with Philoetius and Eumaeus,

with shovels scraped the floor inside the well-built hall,

and women took the dirt and threw it in the yard.

Once they had restored due order in the hall,

they led the servant women from the sturdy home

to a place between the courtyard wall and roundhouse,

herding those household slaves into a narrow space [460]

where there was no way to escape. Shrewd Telemachus

began by speaking to the others:

“I don’t want

to take these women’s lives with a clean death.

They poured insults on my head, on my mother,

and were always sleeping with the suitors.”

He spoke, then tied the cable of a dark-prowed ship

to a large pillar, threw one end above the roundhouse,

then pulled it taut and high, so that no woman’s foot

could reach the ground. Just as doves or long-winged thrushes

charge into a snare set in a thicket, as they seek

their roosting place, only to find they have been welcomed [470]

by a dreadful bed, that is how those women stood

all in a row, with nooses fixed around their necks,

so they might have a pitiful death. For some time,

their feet kept twitching, but that did not last long.

Monsters of the deep the ocean is full of mysteries and amazing creatures. since the first sailors left their home shores and set off for adventure, stories have been told of the strange and wondrous beasts encountered on the open ocean. with only glimpses and imagination-enhanced stories to go on, humans have made many an interesting creature into a monster. the truth is, the ocean's scariest creatures inhabit such extreme depths that humans are rarely, if ever, threatened by them. that does not mean they are not the stuff of nightmares. consider, if you will, the following frightful fiends. atlantic hagfish part eel, part sea snake, this sea serpent may have inspired many stories. lacking the scales that most fish have, the hagfish secretes the most amazing slime to protect itself. this slime may be used to suffocate predators. the slime includes small fibers that make it almost impossible to remove. but the hagfish's truly horrific nature lies in what it does to its prey, not its predators. with an excellent sense of smell that compensates for almost total blindness, the hagfish will locate and latch on to a victim. with a circle of razor sharp teeth, the hagfish bores a hole into the side of its now-doomed prey. once the hole is complete, the hagfish just welcomes itself inside for a meal of fish innards. it essentially eats its prey from the inside out. like other deep-sea monsters, however, hagfish are seldom a nuisance to humans. they live most of their lives at depths of up to 5,600 feet. in fact, they prefer a soft sea bottom so they can quickly bury themselves to hide from threats. gulper eel another, more hideous, fiend of the deep is the gulper eel. this creepy critter is part eel and part giant pouch. like a pelican's enormous pouch-shaped mouth, the mouth of the gulper eel can open quite wide to gulp prey. it has a long tail tipped with a glowing organ that is used to lure in prey. in part to its tail, the gulper can reach up to six feet in length. because its tail is so thin, it is not able to pursue prey with any speed, but it can scoop up hundreds of small crustaceans or shrimp in one bite. often swimming through these prey groups with its mouth wide open, its large jaws allow it to feed on squid and other creatures much larger than itself. gulper eels have only been studied because they sometimes get caught in the nets of fishermen. the depths they inhabit make it quite difficult for scientists to study them. they can go as deep as 6,000 feet, well beyond the abilities of humans to pursue them. vampire squid perhaps the most frightening of the deep-sea monsters is also the smallest. the vampire squid reaches lengths of only six inches. it is also one of the most ancient of the deep-sea monsters. scientists believe it to be the last surviving member of its order. to see the vampire squid is to wonder how many kinds of sea creatures have been mashed into this one odd-looking spook. part squid, part octopus, and part fish, the vampire squid has features of all of these. first, it has large fins at the top of its head that look like ears. flapping like dumbo, the squid uses these fins to get around. it also has tentacles and a large bulbous head like an octopus. its arms, however, are connected by webbing that allows it to form a cloak around itself when frightened. like the octopus, it can change its colors, even making its cloak so dark that it appears invisible. remarkably, it has the largest eyes compared to its body size of any creature on earth. despite its mere six-inch length, its eyes are as big as those of a large dog. with its glowing orbs of eyes and its disappearing tricks, it's no wonder it's named after one of the most feared creatures of legends and folklore: the vampire. these creatures make one wonder not just about the odd members of the deep-sea community, but also what mysterious things inhabit the regions never visited by humans. what may be lurking in the deepest, darkest corners of the deep blue seas? one thing we know for certain, much like the outrageous monsters we conjure in our worst nightmares, the deep ocean is an equally imaginative source of shock, awe, and outright fright. what are the key differences between the atlantic hagfish and the gulper eel? use details and quotations from the text to support your answer.
