So the entire article is about nostos within the Odyssey and not really what it is. If you're going to talk about nostos within the Odyssey that is fine, but I think you need to put that under a section that is titled as such. Also, there needs to be a clear distinction about what nostos actually is. Maybe separate the first paragraph into sections.

Also, I think it would be more beneficial if you incorporated more than one source.

JStor and Project Muse w/o proxy

[edit]

Tiffani, make sure that when you link to JStor or Project Muse you're not linking to a URL with the Mizzou proxy in it. You'll want to delete the ".proxy.mul.missouri.edu" from the end of the root address — or better yet, copy the "stable URL". Also, while it's great to link to JStor/Project Muse, you'll want to put the actual citation of the article (which you can usually locate on the JStor or Project Muse site).

Review

[edit]

Hey! This looks pretty good so far! Are you going to limit the topic of nostos to just the Odyssey, or add other examples? I'm pretty sure there are writings about Agamemnon's nostos, plus there's Menelaus' story when we see him in the Odyssey. Would you consider Helen's travels that she tells Telemachus about as a part of the nostoi? You referenced Achilles, and how he didn't get a nostos, I thought that was a good juxtaposition, and a good example of the meaning and importance of nostos.
