** Summary **
>> >> >> >> //__** The Conne​ctor **__ >> Eumaeus'// //Hut// >> >> >> In the first scene of Book 16, we see Telemachus entering Eumaeus' hut. When he does this, Eumaeus is overjoyed to see Telemachus again. But they are not the only two there. Odysseus is there as well, although in disguise. Here we see the theme of **hospitality.** Eumaeus welcomes Telemachus after not seeing him in a long time, and that is good. But to also welcome a stranger and feel comfortable enough to just share the story of Odysseus with him is an incredible example of hospitality. >> Also, without knowing who this stranger is, Telemachus feels quite comfortable with him. He shows this level of being comfotable by offering to this stranger to tell him of many things. "//Stranger, I will tell you all that you would know.."// >> >> DECTECTIVE WORK: >> >> __**//Athena's golden wand//**__: Athena's golden wand was used in Book 16 to change Odysseus from a weak old beggar to a handsome, god-like being. The wand is symbolic of the divinity and beauty of Athena herself, and also stands for the power that gods and godesses had over mortals. The wand is used only in that moment in //The Odyssey// and does not appear again. >> >> __**//Thesprotians//**__: The Thesprotians were a Greek tribe of Epirus and allies of Ithaca. They were the most famous tribe of Epirus, and controlled many parts of the Meditteranean. According to Telegony, Odysseus married the Queen of Thesprotia and had a son. After Odysseus led the Thesprotians to war and the Queen died, Odysseus left the son behind to rule Thesprotia.
