In modern-day society, television, online, and newspaper reporters interview one or more individuals when they are trying to find out all of the details about an important event, person, or story. In this activity, you will need to imagine that you are a reporter who lived in the epic the Odyssey. Pretend that you are getting ready to write an important news story about the travels of Odysseus in Book XI and XII, and that you have been given the opportunity to interview him. Follow these steps to complete this assignment:

1. First, compose a set of questions to conduct an interview with Odysseus. You should create five to six questions addressing the events in in Book XI and XII of the Odyssey.
2. Then, pretend that you are Odysseus, and answer those questions how you think he would have answered them. Be as detailed as possible. At least one of your answers should include use of a Homeric simile.
