Answer:

Whitman begins by comparing Lincoln to the captain of a ship and his army to a boat.

Explanation:

From the very start, Whitman calls Lincoln 'captain', and when he says, "our fearful trip is done," we understand that he means "mission accomplished". The line "The ship has weather’d every rack," is an obvious reference to his army. That's how he starts building up his extended metaphor.

in at least 150 words, discuss the story of orestes and agamemnon. explain the relevance of their story to that of telemachus an
kobusy [5.1K]
Agamemnon was the leader of the Greek troops in the Trojan wars and Orestes was his son. When Agamemno returned from the war, he was murdered by his wife's lover in conjunction with his wife. Orestes could not stop them but he seeked vengeance for his father. After a long time, he found them and avenged his father while killing them. He killed his mother, but Greek mythology claims that his act was just and he was spared the remorse and the guilt. There are a lot of similarities with the Ulysses/Telemachus father son pair. Ulysses was also one of the leaders of the excursion to Troy. He still has not returned home, but in a sense the suitors of Penelope are marring his estate and his reputation. While Penelope is faithful to Ulysses, the suitors by taking hold of the palace and committing their shameful acts are dishonoring Ulysses. In the same context, Telemachus is asked just like Orestes to restitute his father's honor, regardless of whether he is alive or dead. Athena is helping him and encouraging him with this example and he himself feels the need to save his father's honor.
