I also learned that his men don't really trust him because they didn't trust that the sack that he told them not to open was actually important not to open they thought that there was gold or something else of value in it. Also while he was asleep his crew opened it. Also, when they crashed into the island one of the crew members found a tiny bit if food and Odysseus ate it and didn't give any of it to his crew instead he told them to go hunting for food. So this shows that he is selfish and that his men don't really trust him.ktaylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12554355308085292496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628375250125534207.post-76846183926618534522010-11-17T09:22:25.071-08:002010-11-17T09:22:25.071-08:00I think that Odysseus will struggle getting out of...I think that Odysseus will struggle getting out of the underworld but eventually will get out.ebarryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15810215452387404266noreply@blogger.com
