The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Odyssey by Homer: convenience further directed, still nevertheless hankering after
Euryclea, till at last she found that the path of least
resistance would lie in the direction of making Eurynome and
Euryclea two persons. Therefore in xxiii. 289-292 both Eurynome
and "the nurse" (who can be none other than Euryclea) come on
together. I do not say that this is feminine, but it is not
unfeminine.

{158} This, I take it, was immediately in front of the main
entrance of the inner courtyard into the body of the house.
{159} This is the only allusion to Sardinia in either "Iliad" or
The Odyssey |
