Analysis (explaining the quote) The analysis should explain the significance of the
quote and how it relates to your thesis (how it proves your point).
“And as to stratagems, no man would claim / Odysseus’ gift for those. He had no rivals, / your father, at the tricks of war” (Homer 3.129-131). From this, Telemakhos learns of his father’s cleverness in war. In accordance with the Greek concept of kleos, Telemakhos is also learning about the reputation of his father that he will need to live up to and enhance.
