The quote that I picked is right at the beginning of book 1 and starts at line 13.
“This one alone, longing for his wife and his homecoming, was detained by the queenly nymph Kalypso, bright among goddesses, in her hollowed caverns, desiring that he should be her husband”
In this quote Odyssey misses his wife Penelope and can’t wait to be reunited with her. Unfortunately before Odyssey can go back home he has a couple of battles to face. The first one is to escape from Kalypso, she is in love with him and wants him to be her husband so she holds him hostage.
How can she hold him hostage and how? How did she find him?
Even though these plays are written centuries ago, women play important roles. Why do they all play the same roles? crazy, lonely and wanting to be loved
