Re: Odyssey question

Here is my absolutely naive response, and the point may have been made (or
rubbished) a thousand times without my knowing it. The Greeks' troubles
begin, at the start of the Iliad, with Apollo firing poisoned (or infected,
or magical) arrows at them. And at the end of the Odyssey the situation is
resolved by one Greek's arrows (if not poisoned, at least used trickily).
So is Athena's reference to poisoned arrows part of a running theme, a
means of progressing the story?
