The odyssey by homer muse, speak to me now of that resourceful man who wandered far and wide after ravaging the sacred citadel of troy. he came to see many people's cities, where he learned their customs, while on the sea his spirit suffered many torments, as he fought to save his life and lead his comrades home. but though he wanted to, he could not rescue them— they all died from their own stupidity, the fools. they feasted on the cattle of hyperion, god of the sun—that's why he snatched away their chance of getting home someday. so now, daughter of zeus, tell us his story, starting anywhere you wish. the other warriors, all those who had escaped being utterly destroyed, were now back safely home, facing no more dangers from battle or the sea. but odysseus, who longed to get back to his wife and reach his home, was being held in a hollow cave by that mighty nymph calypso, noble goddess, who wished to make odysseus her husband. but as the seasons came and went, the year arrived in which, according to what gods had once ordained, he was to get back to ithaca, his home— not that he would be free from troubles even there, among his family. the gods pitied odysseus, all except poseidon, who kept up his anger against godlike odysseus and did not relent until he reached his native land. 1. what do the words "god like" and "resourceful" reveal about odysseus? a. odysseus could be mistaken for a god. b. odysseus was a human being of great character who faced his problems. c. odysseus could turn anything into gold. d. odysseus was clever and cunning but not as great as he was supposed to be.
