A good map, indicating the supposed wanderings of Ulysses in the Mediterranean, is given in several of the books, _e.g._ in Palmer's "Odyssey," and fixes many of the most interesting events of the story. The teacher should not overlook the geography of the story and its relation to this and later studies in history, literature, and geography. In using "Ulysses among the Phæacians" as a reader in fourth or fifth grade, the first unit of study is the voyage of Ulysses on his raft, from the time of leaving Calypso till he is wrecked by the storm and driven upon the island of Scheria, the home of the Phæacians. We will suggest a few points in the treatment. The supposed places and the route of the voyage can be traced on the map. Let the teacher sketch it on the board in assigning the lesson. Suggest that the children locate in the sky the stars and constellations by which Ulysses is to direct his course. The story of the construction of the raft on which Ulysses is to make this journey, just preceding this part of the story, could be read to the class by the teacher, as it is not contained in these extracts. In length of time how does this voyage compare with a voyage across the Atlantic to-day? Why is it said, in line 329, that the Great Bear "alone dips not into the waters of the deep"? From previous studies, the children may be able to tell of Ulysses' stay upon the island with Calypso. What may the children know of Neptune? Why is he angered with Ulysses? A picture of Neptune with the trident is in place. Explain the expression "while from above the night fell suddenly." Was Ulysses justified in saying, "Now must I die a miserable death"? In spite of the desperate storm, in what ways does Ulysses struggle to save his life? How do the gods assist him? In what way does this experience of Ulysses remind us of Robinson Crusoe's shipwreck and escape? With how many men had Ulysses started on his way to Troy? Now he alone escapes after great suffering and hopeless buffetings. In what way during this voyage and shipwreck did Ulysses display his accustomed shrewdness and foresight? After landing, what dangers did he still fear? The nearly three hundred lines of Book V, which give this account of Ulysses' voyage and shipwreck, will require several lessons, and the above questions are but a few of those raised in its reading and discussion. When Neptune, Ulysses, or Ino speak, let the speaker be impersonated so as to give greater force and reality. In the next book (VI), there is more of dialogue and better opportunity for variety of manner and voice.
