[316] It looks at first sight as though δῶμα here meant only the great hall as opposed to the sleeping-rooms. But the word is of general signification, and includes the women's apartments in 22.442, Od. 17.541, Od. 18.314 (see App. C). It is more reasonable to regard it as meaning the building as opposed to the “αὐλή”, and thus including the “θάλαμος” as a part. The latter is particularly named because it is the scene of the following incident.
