Thank you!
Working on some english homework right now. We're supposed to find a way to represent a homeric simile from the Odyssey. So I chose to make a drawing representing the sorrow of Penelope that Homer compared to Aedon's sorrow. (According to my knowledge, long story short Aedon was jealous of someone else and tried to kill their first born son. However she ended up killing up her own son, and Zeus felt sorry for her and turned her into a nightingale, so that she could sing her sorrows away.)
Thank you!
