Homework: Dear parents/ guardians, please assist your child with today’s homework. 

Option 3: Collections:  Circe

  In the wild wood they found an open glade, around a smooth stone house the hall of Circe  and wolves and mountain lions lay there, mild in her soft spell, fed on her drug of evil. None would attack  oh, it was strange, I tell you   but switching their long tails they faced our men like hounds, who look up when their master comes with tidbits for them  as he will  from table. Humbly those wolves and lions with mighty paws fawned on our men  who met their yellow eyes and feared them. In the entrance way they stayed to listen there: inside her quiet house they heard the goddess Circe. Low she sang in her beguiling voice, while on her loom she wove ambrosial fabric sheer and bright, by that craft known to the goddesses of heaven. No one would speak, until Polites most faithful and likable of my officers, said: “Dear friends, no need for stealth: here’s a young weaver singing a pretty song to set the air a-tingle on these lawns and paven courts. Goddess she is, or lady. Shall we greet her? ”What customs was Polyphemus supposed to follow?
