Homer, Ithaca, Public, PrivateAbstract
Two assemblies in Ithaca are described in the Odyssey. The first is the one that summoned by Telemachus, through counsel of the goddess Athena. In it he called for the suitors to abandon their home and asked to give a boat so he could go out in search of information about his father, Odysseus. The second is the one that the relatives of the suitors gathered to call for revenge. In this article are discussed the role of these assemblies as organizational forms of society Ithaca figured in the poem. We discuss mainly as the ideas expressed by the words dēmion (public) and ídion (private) are articulate in the text and to what extent the space represented by the agora (assembly) relates to the organization models of the Greek polis.
