Both Uses of
stealth
in
The Odyssey
- Then,
once you've sealed those matters, seen them through,
think hard, reach down deep in your heart and soul
for a way to kill these suitors in your house,
by stealth or in open combat.†p. 87.2 *
- But once you have killed those suitors in your halls—
by stealth or in open fight with slashing bronze—
go forth once more, you must ...
carry your well-planed oar until you come
to a race of people who know nothing of the sea,
whose food is never seasoned with salt, strangers all
to ships with their crimson prows and long slim oars,
wings that make ships fly.†p. 253.5
