    Socratic Seminar Preparation

    Core Questions (Analyze the text)

    1. Do you think Odysseus was a good leader? Why or why not?

    2. What kind of roles do women play in The Odyssey? Which females hold the most power?
    Why do you think this is?

    3. Why are Odysseus’s affairs with Circe and Calypso not considered true love? Is he justified to
    have any of the affairs?

    4. Is it possible for a modern reader to accept Odysseus’s killing of the suitors? If not, how does
    this change in values affect our enjoyment of Homer’s poem?

    5. Odysseus disguises himself as an old beggar before revealing himself to his son and Penelope.
    Why do you think this is? Would you have done the same if you were Odysseus?
