Question
read the excerpt from the odyssey.
few men can keep alive through a big surf
to crawl, clotted with brine, on kindly beaches
in joy, in joy, knowing the abyss behind;
and so she too rejoiced, her gaze upon her husband,
her white arms round him pressed as though forever.
from which part of odysseuss epic journey is this
excerpt taken?
○ his call to adventure
○ his road of trials
○ his supreme ordeal
○ his return home
The excerpt describes Odysseus surviving a rough sea to reach shore, where his wife (Penelope) rejoices and embraces him. This matches the final phase of his journey where he returns to Ithaca and is reunited with his family. A call to adventure is the start of his journey, road of trials are his many struggles during the voyage, and supreme ordeal is his most dangerous trial (like facing the Cyclops or Scylla/Charybdis), none of which fit this scene of reunion after reaching home.
