Who is the speaker in this excerpt from book 13 of homer’s odyssey, and what inference can you make from the tone? shall then no more, o sire of gods! be mine the rights and honours of a power divine? scorn'd e'en by man, and (oh severe disgrace! ) by soft phaeacians, my degenerate race! against yon destined head in vain i swore, and menaced vengeance, ere he reach'd his shore; to reach his natal shore was thy decree; mild i obey'd, for who shall war with thee? behold him landed, careless and asleep, from all the eluded dangers of the deep; lo where he lies, amidst a shining store of brass, rich garments, and refulgent ore; and bears triumphant to his native isle a prize more worth than ilion's noble spoil. the speaker in the excerpt is . the tone demonstrates . nextreset

Poseidon is the speaker and we may infer he is furious and frustrated.

Explanation:

Poseidon, the god of the sea in Greek mythology, tries to prevent the hero Odysseus from returning home after the war in Troy. One of the reasons why Odysseus is disliked by Poseidon is the fact that he (Odysseus) does not fear the gods. Odysseus is, however, much liked by Athena, the goddess of wisdom, for his wit and character.

When Odysseus is successful and finally arrives back at Ithaca, his home, Poseidon is furious. The god turns the ship in which Odysseus sailed into a rock and kills those who helped him.

His rage and frustration are expressed in the excerpt we analyzed here:

Shall then no more, O sire of gods! be mine The rights and honours of a power divine? Scorn'd e'en by man, and (oh severe disgrace!) By soft Phaeacians, my degenerate race! Against yon destined head in vain I swore, And menaced vengeance, ere he reach'd his shore; To reach his natal shore was thy decree; Mild I obey'd, for who shall war with thee? Behold him landed, careless and asleep, From all the eluded dangers of the deep; Lo where he lies, amidst a shining store Of brass, rich garments, and refulgent ore; And bears triumphant to his native isle A prize more worth than Ilion's noble spoil.

no it is not a sin or wrong to be gay. you can be whoever you want just dont hurt anybody or kill anybody. god gave us freewill so we could do whatever we want and be whoever they want to be. all those other people who think gay is bad they are wrong, they can love whoever they want longs they don't hurt or kill each other.

being gay is not a sin or wrong. if you are gay then you have our support and love. cause lets face it, love is love and no bully will ever stop us from being who we are. we are human and we can be different. being different is what makes us humans.

its okay to be gay everyone.

hope this : )

have a great day
