Domesticity and War in Homer's "Iliad" and "Odyssey"
[ send me this paper ]
A six page paper looking at these two works in terms of their treatment of domesticity, specifically the act of doing laundry. In the Odyssey, laundry assumes a central role in
the scene involving Nausikaa and her girlfriends, because the story is slow-paced and allows emphasis to be placed on ordinary life. The Iliad, however, is set in the middle of a war, and although a place for doing laundry is mentioned, it has lost its importance in the face of matters of life and
death. No additional sources.
