Finally, Antinous gets the idea: the Greeks should write a personal ad to get her attention and win her affection. Instructions: Compose a scintillating personal ad that Penelope won’t be able to resist. Use the Greek Names on the back to give an identity to the suitor who is pursuing Penelope. Caveat: You must include 3 vocabulary words from any of our lists .

Pick me to be your man. Just ask for Meletios at the next Ithaca meeting.
