The Odyssey 5-8

I was reading other peoples blogs and noticed a common trend. No one likes Telemachus. I don't know why I think he's amazing. What I don't like though about this part of the book is that I was really focused on Telemachus and Pistachio that when it switched to Ulysses it felt like I was starting a completely new story. Though it was nice to start hearing about him. Some things that I put little notes in my book about were,

- I hadn't realized Calypso was a goddess

-The messenger for the god's is called Mercury in this translation but I couldn't remember what his name was in the Greek translation

-I laughed at a lot of the phrasing when Mercury was talking to Calypso cause it sounded so strange

-When Ulysses was building his raft there were a lot of words I didn't know

-How can the gods keep an eye on everyone is they pay so much attention to individuals? 

I still really enjoy the story. Especially when my science teacher thinks I'm really smart for reading it in homeroom :D
