Which detail from Homer's The Odyssey best shows how Odysseus exemplifies a hero archetype?
The Odyssey, Book 12
by Homer (excerpt)
Now all at once tremendous scenes unfold;
Thunder'd the deeps, the smoky billows roll'd!
Tumultuous waves embroil the bellowing flood,
All trembling, deafen'd, and aghast we stood!
No more the vessel plough'd the dreadful wave,
Fear seized the mighty, and unnerved the brave;
Each dropp'd his oar, but swift from man to man
With looks serene I turn'd, and thus began:
'O friends! O often tried in adverse storms!
With ills familiar in more dreadful forms!
Deep in the dire Cyclopean den you lay,
Yet safe return'd-Odysseus led the way
Learn courage hence, and in my care confide
Lot still the same Odysseus is your guide.
