This excerpt best highlights the epic poetry elements of an epic hero who fights bravely, an invocation to a muse, and a difficult journey with trials.
Homer is describing what Odysseus had to go through in order to get to his goal, which is coming home. He tells us of the adventures that the protagonist and his crew endured and the tragedies they lived through - so it's definitely not something that happens every day, nor did it really happen in history - it is a made up poem. Key phrases aren't repeated, so that's not the correct answer either.
