Sing in me, Muse, and through me tell the story
of that man skilled in all ways of contending,
the wanderer, harried for years on end,
after he plundered the stronghold
on the proud height of Troy.
He saw the townlands
and learned the minds of many distant men,
and weathered many bitter nights and days
in his deep heart at sea, while he fought only
to save his life, to bring his shipmates home.
But not by will nor valor could he save them,
for their own recklessness destroyed them all—
children and fools, they killed and feasted on
the cattle of Lord Helios, the Sun,
and he who moves all day through heaven
took from their eyes the dawn of their return.
What two traits can be inferred about Odysseus?
A warrior
Reckless
Brave
Foolish
Answer explanation
" that man skilled in all ways of contending," means warrior, fighter
"while he fought only
to save his life, to bring his shipmates home.
But not by will nor valor could he save them" demonstrates that he is brave and willing to try and save his men even if his "valor" or bravery is not enough

were running out in anguish over his exile,
for long ago the nymph had ceased to please.

and broke his own heart groaning, with eyes wet
scanning the bare horizon of the sea.
