Key Notes

Narrative sequence interpreted in the March 11, 2026 lecture.

diagnosis

Once Penelope's spirit acknowledges Odysseus, the two can coordinate the bow contest that will expose Odysseus and enable the killing of the suitors.

Interpretive claim stated in the March 11, 2026 lecture.

diagnosis

The bow contest is possible because Penelope knows the secret that only Odysseus can string the bow; the suitors see a contest, but Penelope and Odysseus are coordinating.
