- Description
- The author shows us that the attitude of Odysseus, as well as of the Odyssey, is highly ambivalent towards women. Odysseus rewards supportive female characters by treating them as privileged members of the audience for his own tales. At the same time, dangerous female narrators are discredited by the narrative framework in which their stories appear.
