Odysseus makes this interruption because he is telling his tale not to relate what actually occurred in his travels‚ but because he needed help from the Phaeacians and used the story to obtain that help.

Femininity has not only a bigger role in this epic‚ but it seems as though it is honored with its own unique power. This is shown in characters like Circe and Athena‚ but also subtextually in the many female weavers throughout the
