The Odyssey: resumen de Book 22
Book 22 de 24 · 17 min para leer el book
In Book 22, Ulysses reveals himself and kills the suitors with help from Telemachus, two loyal servants, and Minerva, refusing payment in exchange for mercy. He spares Phemius and Medon, orders punishment for disloyal servants, and purifies the house before the remaining women gather around him.
Qué sucede
- Ulysses kills Antinous, announces his identity, and rejects Eurymachus’s offer of repayment before killing him too.
- Telemachus brings armor, but his unguarded storeroom lets Melanthius supply the suitors until Eumaeus and Philoetius capture him.
- Minerva tests Ulysses and Telemachus, deflects enemy spears, and terrifies the suitors as the four defenders kill them.
- Ulysses kills the pleading priest Leiodes, but Telemachus persuades him to spare Phemius and Medon.
- Euryclea identifies twelve disloyal women, who clean the court before Telemachus hangs them; Melanthius suffers mutilation.
- Ulysses cleanses the courts with burning sulfur, and the household women greet him with embraces.
