Select the correct text in the passage.
Which two words in this excerpt from Homer's Odyssey have meanings similar to "punishing someone who hurt you"?
I then: 'O nymph propitious to my prayer,
Goddess divine, my guardian power, declare,
Is the foul fiend from human vengeance freed?
Or, if I rise in arms, can Scylla bleed?'

Then she: 'O worn by toils, O broke in fight,
Still are new toils and war thy dire delight?
Will martial flames for ever fire thy mind,
And never, never be to Heaven resign'd?
How vain thy efforts to avenge the wrong!
Deathless the pest! impenetrably strong!
Furious and fell, tremendous to behold!

Answer:

The words are "avenge" and "vengeance".

Explanation:

The two words mentioned above have the same meaning as the expression "punish someone who hurt you" because they express the meaning of revenge and promote evil to a person who deserves it, because it has promoted evil to you.

The text presents these words as a feeling that the speaker has to compensate for bad situations that other individuals have done to him, he refrains from these words as a demon of the human race, something destructive, but that promotes justice to be done.
