Why do you consider Ithaca the best? I know what it has going for it, but is it really the best chapter in the whole book?
I agree that Penelope is the worst though, although it's hard to call any chapter in the book "worst".
Here's my list
>best
Hades
>runner up
Wanding Rocks
>worst
Penelope
>overrated
Circe
>underrated
Nausicaa

I know "Hades" and "Wanding Rocks" aren't that good when it comes to the prose and structure if you compare it to some other chapters in the book, but I really loved how comfy they both feel.

Nothing to change here.

Wouldn't consider Cyclops underrated though. I'd rather leave that category to Sirens.
And worst is actually Aeolus.

I don't want to be a faggot and rate "Penelope" as worst simply because it was the one that was most annoying to read. It's awfully tempting, though.

In reality, "Aeolus" is probably the worst chapter. It's super trite.

This thread is fraught with insecurity.

I'd list Oxen and Wandering Rocks as best and list Telemachus as underrated too, otherwise agree.
