Which line in this excerpt from Homer's Odyssey best shows that Ulysses was a good ruler who always remembered his responsibility for his homeland, Ithaca? In vain Calypso long constrained my stay, With sweet, reluctant, amorous delay; With all her charms as vainly Circe strove, And added magic to secure my love. In pomps or joys, the palace or the grot, My country's image never was forgot; My absent parents rose before my sight, And distant lay contentment and delight.

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:

The correct answer is "My country's image never was forgot"

Explanation:

Ulysses, also known as Odysseus, is the main character in the epic poem "The Odyssey" by Homer. After fighting against the Trojans, Ulysses is trying to get back home, to the island of Ithaca. However, since he previously defied the gods, they are making it harder for him to get there. Ulysses is constantly delayed, and suffers terrible setbacks such as losing his ship and his men to a storm. In the excerpt we are studying here, he is held back by the nymph Calypso in her island for seven years. Even though Calypso uses all her power to seduce him and keep him entertained - "In pomps or joys, the palace or the grot" -, Ulysses wishes to return home - ""My country's image was never forgot." She tried to enchant him, but it was impossible for him to forget his old life and his responsibilities.

Answer: The right answer for the question that is being asked and shown above is that: "With all her charms as vainly Circe strove, And added magic to secure my love. In pomps or joys, the palace or the grot, My country's image never was forgot;"
