The Odyssey Questions Book4: How does Menelaus represent himself
Book 4
- How does Menelaus represent himself as responding to his wanderings on the way home to Sparta?
- Why does Menelaus still value and accept Helen, even though her elopement with Paris led to the Trojan War?
- How might Menelaus’ story about the Old Man of the Sea, Proteus, be instructive to Telemachus in his quest to find his father? Why, for that matter, would Menelaus’ response to the knowledge Proteus gives him be instructive for Odysseus?
