Read the excerpt from the odyssey. but the man skilled in all ways of contending, satisfied by the great bow's look and heft, like a musician, like a harper, when with quiet hand upon his instrument he draws between his thumb and forefinger a sweet new string upon a peg: so effortlessly odysseus in one motion strung the bow. according to this excerpt, how has odysseus changed over the course of his adventure?

He has become more humble and patient in battle.

Explanation:

The epic story of Odysseus in Homer's "The Odyssey" shows the decades long journey of Odyssey and his eventual return to his kingdom of Ithaca. he had been away from home for more than two decades, leaving his son and wife to fight in the Battle of Troy.

Odysseus had been absent from his home during which a group of suitors had descended upon his wife Penelope, asking her to remarry and get a new king for Ithaca. Then for the competition to see who is suitable to marry Penelope, Odyssey also took part in it. The bow and arrow scene is what is described here, though the excerpt in the question is from the translated version of Odyssey by Robert Fitzgerald. It is from lines 1736 to 1742, "Book 21: The Test of The Great Bow". It suggests or shows that Odysseus, through all his journeys, he had become more humble and patient in battling his enemies.
