Question

this story begins, Circe has just finished giving Odysseus advice. As Circe spoke, Dawn mounted her golden throne, and on the first rays Circe left me, taking her way like a great goddess up the island. I made straight for the ship, roused up the men to get aboard and cast off at the stern. 5 They scrambled to their places by the rowlocks and all in line dipped oars in the grey sea. But soon an off-shore breeze blew to our liking – a canvas-bellying breeze, a lusty shipmate sent by the singing nymph with sunbright hair.10 So we made fast the braces, and we rested, letting the wind and steersman work the ship. –The Odyssey, Homer To begin planning your writing, identify the heroic traits that are present in this passage.
