Was it a good idea for Odysseus to only tell his crew about part of the dangers Circe described for him? Why did Odysseus do this? Did it make things turn out better or worse? Would you have done the same thing in Odysseus's place? If you were a member of Odysseus's crew, would you be angry that Odysseus didn't reveal the full truth? All in all, is shielding people from the truth ever a good idea?
