TIME REMAINING
57:06
Read the excerpt from Part 3 of The Odyssey by Homer.
What conclusion about Odysseus (the speaker) is best
supported by the excerpt?
so let me tell [Circe's) forecast: then we die
with our eyes open, if we are going to die,
or know what death we baffle if we can. Sirens
weaving a haunting song over the sea
we are to shun, she said, and their green shore
all sweet with clover, yet she urged that I
alone should listen to their song. Therefore
you are to tie me up, tight as a splint,
erect along the mast, lashed to the mast,
and if I shout and beg to be untied,
take more turns of the rope to muffle me.'
He trusts Circe's advice.
He remembers the Sirens.
He questions his men's strength.
He believes they will succeed.
