Customs in the Odyssey
This material is covered in the Odyssey, which is where most of the text comes from. It looks like the Odyssey article could use some cleaning up, too. Some of it is written in the first person. -- Kjkolb 23:33, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge with Odyssey, where this text does not currently exist. However, it should be in a separate section with this title, not under "Book 7".  Kj, the only first person text I see is a quote from the Odyssey itself, with Odysseus speaking.  Bikeable 15:04, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
 * I removed it from the Odyssey because it was added by the same user, but I only noticed that later. Here's an example of the first person text: "Alcinous’ treatment of Odysseus, who is concealed as a beggar, reminded me of an example of a modern attitude: ‘No Angels’ by Robert Swindells." Here's another one: "The combination of the Odyssey and ‘No Angels’ gives me this message: Overcome fear, give as much hospitality as possible to single strangers..." I don't think this content should be merged into the Odyssey article. It's not very high quality and it is out of place in the current Odyssey article. Only short summaries of the books are given. If this is put in, there will be a large entry for book 7 that talks about customs. If this text is saved at all, it should stay as a separate article. Here's what it looks like with the text added to the Odyssey article. -- Kjkolb 19:41, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Needs more eyeballs. Relisting. &middot; Katefan0(scribble) 21:20, 5 October 2005 (UTC)


 * Weak keep if first person tense is corrected, or Merge into Odysseey if there is room. --Johntex\talk 09:51, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: if this is relisted again, please add it at the beginning of the AfD day. Thanks -- Kjkolb 02:08, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirected: to the Hospitality in the Odyssey article, which is also up for deletion, because they have the same content. -- Kjkolb 06:47, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
