Which of these quotations from the Odyssey, Part 1, best illustrates qualities typical of an epic hero?
Now, by the gods, I drove my big hand spike / deep in the embers, charring it again, / and cheered my men along with battle talk / to keep their courage up: no quitting now
. I rather dwelt on this part of the forecast, / while our good ship made time, bound outward down / the wind for the strange island of Sirens
In the next land we found were Cyclopes, / giants, louts, without a law to bless them.
We beached her, grinding keel in the soft sand, / and waded in, ourselves on the sandy beach.
