In Book 20 of the Odyssey, the omens, dreams, and oozing
of blood from the suitor's mouth portend the coming clash between Odysseus and the
suitors, when he will kill them all for disrespecting his wife and son and the honor of
his house by killing all of his beasts, eating all of his food, ruining his home, and

been going on in his absence. He has his patron Athena in his corner, and his son
Telemachus is ready to kill all the suitors himself, if need be. Check out the study
guides and summary on the link below.

Calculate tan(x-y), if sin x=1/2 and sin y=1/3. 0

We'll write the formula of the tangent of difference of 2 angles. tan (x-y) = (tan x - tan y)/(1 + tan x*tan y) ...
