Answer

Brief Explanations:

In literature, symbols carry deeper meanings. Helios, the sun, is often a symbol of hope (as light brings hope). The passage describes the loss of Helios for Odysseus and his men. Without the sun (Helios), there is no light. In a literary and symbolic sense, losing the source of light (which can represent hope - as it allows for visibility, warmth, and a sense of normalcy in a journey) would mean a loss of hope. Death is too literal as they are still alive (the passage is about the loss of the sun's light, not their lives). Fear is an emotion that could be a result but not the symbolic loss. Power is not indicated by the sun in this context.

hope
