In the wanderings of Odysseus in The Odyssey, which factor proves to be the most challenging to the hero’s cleverness in his attempts to return home to Ithaca?

His confrontation with the Cyclops, who has support from Poseidon, creates such formidable conflict that Odysseus must overcome brute force with deception.
In spite of his well-known sea-faring skills, it is the physical trials of navigating in treacherous seas, including weather, tides, and an unworthy vessel that tests Odysseus the most.
His encounter with Poseidon, who holds a grudge against Odysseus for blinding his son, presents the severest confrontation for the hero.
It was the hero’s trust in Calypso, whom he expected would allow him to return immediately to his wife, Penelope, that becomes the most rigorous obstacle for Odysseus to overcome.

When i was young enough to still spend a long time buttoning my shoes in the morning, i'd listen toward the hall: daddy upstairs was shaving, in the bathroom, and mother downstairs was frying the bacon. they would begin whispering back and forth to each other up and down the stairwell. my father would whistle his phrase, my mother would try to whistle, then hum hers backi drew my buttonhook in and out and listened to it -know it was "the merry widow." the difference was, their song almost floated with laughter. how different from the record, which growled from the beginning, as if the victrola were only slowly being wound up. they kept it running between them, up and down the stairs where i was now just about ready to run clattering down and show them my shoes. what is the effect of the parallelism used in the above excerpt? it establishes the rhythm of a duet to echo the song. it expresses the same ideas. it mirrors opposite ideas. it is a paradox.
