Finally getting back on track with #theodysseybuddyread. As I read I keep recalling a poem we had to memorize in high school when we read the odyssey and I see the connection much more strongly with this translation as it mimics many of the same phrases about returning to one‘s native land. It really captures the feeling in the book . http://www.scottishpoetrylibrary.org.uk/poetry/poems/breathes-there-man. #portsandislands

Lcsmcat I love that poem, and had never connected it to the Odyssey before. Great insight! 6y

Blaire @Cathythoughts thanks so much! Blushing 😊 6y
Blaire @Lcsmcat yes, me too. I still have it memorized from senior humanities class. Theme for that year was figuring out what would comprise our “good life.” (edited) 6y

By coincidence, I'm at Dublin port for #portsandislands for the #theodysseybuddyread

Not quite as warm and sunny as Ithaca I reckon.

If I was traveling, I would be lucky to land on Washington Island after crossing Death‘s Door. #theodysseybuddyread #week5 #portsandislands @Abailliekaras

Travelling home - I would wash up at Port Adelaide. But Kangaroo Island is just off the coast so I could be waylaid there. 😎 #theodysseybuddyread #portsandislands

Godmotherx5 I couldn‘t help myself. I finished #theodysseybuddyread last night. 6y

Godmotherx5 I will hold off to avoid spoilers. The later books really had momentum & I couldn‘t put it down. 6y
