grbs-8891	Moulton, Carroll	The End of the Odyssey	1974	17	.pdf	application/pdf	7370	333	66	The battle itself, fore­ shadowed in Odysseus' concern about the consequences of the slaughter at 23.117-22 and 130-40,54 provides the occasion for a grand finale, not only in terms of the plot, but also in terms of the father­ son motif so pervasive in the Odyssey (cf Laertes' exclamation at 514-15).55 Page's objections to the battle, centering around the killing of some of the relatives,56 seem to ignore the long partnership of Athena and the family of Odysseus. Thus, the normally cautious Alexandrian critics may have been seduced into judging the Odyssey to end with Odysseus and Penelope in bed at 23.296.	cache/grbs-8891.pdf	txt/grbs-8891.txt
