Second period read one of the most famous episodes in the entire Odyssey: the Sirens, and the passage between Scylla and Charybdis.

First period continued working on sound devices. We also switched at the end of class from examining the language of the poems to examining more carefully the meaning of the poems.

Fourth and sixth periods are continuing with sound devices as well.
