PRESENTATION OUTLINE
New Coasts and Poseidon's Son
"We served under Agamemnon, Son of Atreus the whole world knows what city he laid waste, what armies he destroyed. It was our luck to come here, or any gifts you give-as custom is to honor strangers. We would entreat you, great Sir, have a care for the gods' courtesy: Zeus will avenge the unoffending guest."
"Kyklops, if ever mortal man inquire how you were put to shame and blinded, tell him Odysseus, raider of cities, took your eye: Laertes son, whose home's on Ithakal"
"Nine days I drifted out on teeming seas before dangerous high winds."
"The bows went plunging at the gust; sails cracked and lashed out strips in the big wind."
Alliteration:
"I had touched the spot when sudden fear stayed me."
Personification:
"Heaven gave us game a-plenty: for every one of twelve ships in my squadron."
