  1. Aim: How does Faulkner allude to Greek mythology with the Bundren’s journey across the river? Do Now: “In the middle of the journey of our life I came to myself within a dark wood where the straight way was lost.” – Dante Alighieri HW: Read to p. 169-179 carefully. (Addie’s chapter!) Go online and find a quote that you believe embodies an aspect of the novel. Provide the quote and your explanation of its relevance.

  2. "As I lay dying, the woman with the dog's eyes would not close my eyes as I descended into Hades." A reference from Homer’s The Odyssey. As the title suggests, Odysseus goes on a long and arduous journey. In the above reference, Odysseus has traveled to the Underworld and encounters Agamemnon, a soul he once knew who recounts his death to Odysseus. In what ways does the line from The Odyssey refer to Faulkner’s novel?

  3. River Crossing - River Styx Based on Greek Mythology The River Styx separates the world of the living from the world of the dead. One had to cross the River Styx to reach life after death. A ferryman, Charon, would help guide souls across the river.
