Question

read the passage from the odyssey - excerpt: by night our ship ran onward toward the oceans bourne, the realm and region of the men of winter, hidden in mist and cloud. never the flaming eye of helios lights on those men at morning, when he climbs the sky of stars, nor in descending earthward out of heaven; ruinous night being rove over those wretches. for odysseus and his men, the loss of helios, the sun, symbolizes a loss of

• death.
• fear
• hope
• power

Explanation:

In "The Odyssey", Helios (the sun) is associated with hope and guidance for Odysseus and his men. When they lose Helios, it represents a loss of hope as the sun's presence is a sign of order, direction, and the possibility of moving forward. Death is not directly symbolized by losing Helios here, fear is more about the threats they face (like monsters), and power is not the main association with Helios' loss in this context.

Answer:

hope
