Question

In a satire by Lucian, Tiresias is described as seeking this place when he counsels Menippus to “go your way with ever a smile and never a passion.” One man is described in this place “driving before him…the wild beasts whom he had slain upon the mountains” and holding a bronze club. (-5[1])This place can be found past “the streams of Oceanus,” the “rock Leukas,” the “gates of the sun,” and (-5[1])the “land of dreams.” In Book 24 of the Odyssey, a man strides (-5[1])off over this location after rejoicing to hear his son did not cry or turn pale and earlier declares he would rather be a poor laborer on (*) earth than “lord over all the dead.” (-5[1])In this part of the Underworld, Homer described the gibbering suitors of Penelope encountering Agamemnon and Achilles, while Menelaus alone was granted Elysium. For 10 points, (10[1])name this part of the Underworld (10[1])covered with (10[1])its namesake grey plant. (10[1])■END■ (10[3])
