Satires 2.5 ref http www.poetryintranslation.com PITBR Latin HoraceSatiresBkIISatV.htm ref stands out in the work for its unique analysis of legacy hunting. Plot Summary Horace s Satire Book II, Satire V is poem about a discussion between Ulysses and Tiresias that is presented as a continuation of their interaction in the hades underworld in Book 11 of Homer s Odyssey . Ulysses is concerned that he will have no wealth once he returns to Ithaca because the suitors will have squandered the contents of his storehouses. Stating bluntly that breeding and character are meaningless without wealth, he asks Tiresias for any suggestions on how to rebuild his prosperity. Tiresias suggests that Ulysses try his hand at legacy hunting, and gives examples of characters through history that have ingratiated themselves with the affluent in order to be named as benefactors in their will. Despite Ulysses skepticism, Tiresias asserts the plan s merit and provides examples of how to curry favor. Outline of the Poem ref Roberts, Michael. Horace Satires 2.5 Restrained Indignation.

Poulenc Operas Les Mamelles de Tir sias The Breasts of Tiresias is a Surrealism surrealist two act Comic opera op ra bouffe by Francis Poulenc , based on The Breasts of Tiresias the play of the same title by Guillaume Apollinaire , which was written in 1903 but first performed in 1917. The opera premiered at the Op ra Comique in Paris on 3 June 1947. Poulenc first thought of setting the opera in the 1930s, and began composition in 1939, finishing in 1944. He altered the setting from the real Africa n island of Zanzibar to an imaginary town called Zanzibar near Monte Carlo Apollinaire s childhood home on the French Riviera . This latitude, he said, was quite tropical enough for the Parisian that I am. The opera closes with the stern command, Fran ais, faites des enfants O Frenchmen, make babies , and the success of this propaganda is perhaps seen in the fact that the first two sopranos cast in the role of Tiresias had to give it up before the premiere on account of pregnancy.

Thrinakia Greek language Greek , also Trinacria or Thrinacie , mentioned in Book 11 of Homer s Odyssey , is the island home of Helios s cattle , guarded by his eldest daughter, Lampetia . It is sometimes said to have been Sicily , since the name Thrinacia could be taken to imply a connection to the number three Greek treis, tria sounds vaguely similar to Thri and Sicily has three corners. However the island is also associated with Malta , and the fact that Sicily is often identified with the episode of the Cyclops Cyclopes only serves to underscore the shaky footing any geographer is on when trying to identify Homer s locations. Odysseus and his crew arrive at Thrinacia after passing past Scylla and Charybdis . Odysseus has been warned by both Circe and the shade of Tiresias to avoid Thrinacia, but his men beg him to let them stop and rest. He reluctantly agrees, but makes them swear an oath not to touch the cattle on the island. However, for the next month unfavorable winds blow continuously and they are unable to leave. When Odysseus goes to pray for a safe return to Ithaca , his crew, fearing starvation, slaughter and eat some of Helios s cattle. In punishment, when they finally sail away from the island, Helios successfully pleads to Zeus to send a thunderbolt at their ship, killing all the men except Odysseus. Odysseus is spared but, as forewarned by Circe and Tiresias, is himself punished when his return to Ithaca is delayed by a seven year sojourn on Ogygia .
