Test of the Great Bow
This was my group's story, and we ended up acting it out instead of using puppets. It was pretty cheesy, to say the least. The script was brought up to date, and was pretty straightforward as far as the plot. Penelope came up with an impossible task for the suitors to perform, one that only Odysseus could perform. If one of the suitors could string Odysseus' mighty bow and shoot it through an ax handle, then she would marry that man. Dressed as a beggar, Odysseus accomplishes the task asks Eumaeus and Philoeteus to back him up and help him out with "taking care of" the suitors who were "trying to take [his] woman". This then leads into the next story Death at the Palace.

haha. i loved it, very entertaining.
you guys did a really good job with your play. i liked that you didn't use puppets, because it made yours different, and easier to follow :]
I didn't really like Odysseus in the other parts of the book, but you have to admit he was pretty studly in this part. He didn't have to kill ALL of the suitors, though.
yeah, that odysseus was pretty studly, if I do say so myself.
Our performance was the best! We were so cheesy in this performance, but at least people could understand the point that we were trying to get across. We ROCK!!!
