Odysseus must visit the Underworld or Hades before he can return home. In Hades he is visited by men and women from his past, dead relatives, arch enemies, and dear friends. They each have a message for him.
For this blog, imagine that you too have made that trip to the Underworld. Name three people you would like to see. They can be personal to you or names that we would all recognize. After each person's name tell WHY you want to see them: what questions would you ask them? What would you want to share with them? What do you need to hear from them?
