The correct answer should be
<span>to lend credibility and additional support to their conclusion

Quoting famous books is usually done to support what you're saying, it's not about proving things or demonstrating it, it's rather to help make your hypothesis seem more legitimate. Highlighting your knowledge is not necessary and sounds a bit arrogant. </span>

Why does Odysseus choose to go on Scylla's side of the strait? Answer in complete sentences.
MArishka [77]
In Book XII of Homer's The Odyssey, Odysseus and his men are leaving the land of Circe and she advises them on where to go next. She tells them that they will run into Scylla or Charydbis. She told Odysseus that while Scylla would eat 6 of his men, the ship and the remaining men would be safe to continue their journey. On the other hand, if he sailed near Charydbis, it would swallow the whole ship and eat all men. It was a clear decision to make because it was preferable to lose only part of his crew than everyone.
