3. Covered Odysseus in the thick mist

4. "a thick coppice of trees," over the mouth of the cave trailed a luxuriant grape vine," "four rills of clear water," "soft meadows thick with violets and wild celery"

5. "friend and comrade of the excellent odysseu" to whom odysseus "had entrusted his whole house when he said away; they were to obey the old man, and he was to keep all safe"

6. "surpass other men in skill to drive a swift ship over the deep, so much their women surpass in making of cloth.

7. the marshal who informs Penelope of the plot to ambush Telemachos upon his return.

1. Arete. Arete was the daughter of Rhexenor, who was brother to Alcinous, Arete's husband.

2. Penelope. One of her suitors made this comment. Penelope told her suitors she would choose a husband among them as soon as she had finished weaving a burial shroud for Laertes, Odysseus' father. Each day she wove this beautiful shroud, but during the night she would cleverly unravel her work, to prolong choosing a husband.

3. Athena, Odysseus' protector goddess.

4. This is in reference to Odysseus entering the cave of Calypso.

5. Mentor. Odysseus entrusted his household with Mentor when he set sail for Troy.

6. The Phaeacians. The Phaeacian men were great mariners, the women great with cloth and a loom.

7. Medon, the herald of Ithaca, overhears the suitor's plot to ambush and kill Telemachus/Telemachos, and he informs Penelope of their plan.

HOME (English with subtitles)

Oasis of the Seas - the Worlds Biggest Cruise Ship

Oasis of the seas will be launched sometime in the winter of 2009. The first US home port will be Port Canaveral in Florida. It will bring a repertoire of amenities that might leave the holiday seekers in complete awe. The ship is blessed to break into newer territories of luxury.

How does it feel to know that the ship would have 2400 staterooms? The rooms will obviously be divided into various categories leading up to the President's Suite. Further, the balcony seats or the cabin seats will also be allotted in accordance with the purse strings. It is believed at present that the luxury liner will hold as many as 5400 guests. This will let the tourists luxuriate in the privacy of spread out space. After all, a room for two on an average is quite an accommodation facility. As a new feature, not yet seen on any other cruise ship, there will be a new cabin category called family cabins. It will be a multi level cabin with several sleeping areas, perfect for a small family to stay, and spend time together. Also the balcony cabins now have a new touch. The ships construction now allows you to choose from balcony cabins with ocean view or balcony facing the internal ship areas such as Central Park. As a matter of facts, all the cabins above the waterline seems to be balcony cabins.

The ship is expected to be 16 decks high. This would give an impressive view of the sea shining under the misty moonlight or marked with morning iridescence. With 2, 20,000 GRT and 7 neighborhoods, the ship promises quite an amazing environment.

The rooms will be cut out in all possible dimensions. Few of them would adhere to the contemporary theme. Others would be marked out with an old-world charm that is so much in sync with the holiday mood. Stretching out lobby space and verandahs leading to the view of sea on the horizon can be a treat to the eyes. Such experiences automatically get etched into the memory for long.

The luxury liner will be replete with all kinds of indoor and outdoor sports. The recreational dens will hold various indoor games. Indoor heated swimming pools along with health spas and gymnasiums will define the modern look. At the same time, the grills and bars and firehouses will let the tourists give access to their festive mood.

Food on offer atop the luxury liner will be just as amazing. Ethnic variety along with top sea food on one side, and sumptuous global cuisines on the other side would let the tourists revel in lip-smacking fare. After all, what's a holiday without good food?

Oasis of the seas will also be aligned to various excursion programs which will give the people on board a chance to indulge in adventures like deep SCUBA diving, surfboarding and snorkeling.

The Royal Caribbean International has well and truly decided to turn the suits into lofts and the Entertainment hubs into neighborhoods. There is probably nothing stopping them now.
