The visit to the underworld gave a good contrast to roles of men and women, I thought. Even though this was an action-packed reading segment, I still found it a struggle at times with its "Inception"-like layered narrative. Maybe it's the parallels between Circe and Calypso. One thing I haven't recalled in this rereading is the fate of Eurylokhos. (Also, Fitzgerald uses a lot of different spellings. Circe is Kirke.) Glad there are some things to discover. Speaking of glad, are you still glad to be doing this with all the other reading you have? Wow, you’re finding a lot of subtext.
