“I hail from Crete's broad land, I'm proud to say,

<em>and I am a rich man's son. And many other sons  </em>

he brought up in this palace, born in wedlock,

sprung of his lawful wife. Unlike my mother.

She was a slave, a concubine he'd purchased, yes,

<em>but he treated me on par with all his true-born sons –  </em>

<em>Castor, Hylax's son…” </em>

Question: Who is the speaker of this passage?

Options:

  • A) Eumaeus
  • B) Telemachus
  • C) Odysseus  
  • D) Melanthius              

Answer: The correct answer is option: C<u>) Odysseus.</u>

Explanation: After the great Odysseus returns from the halls of Ithaca and a great war, he is finally home and very eager to return to his normal life. However, his wife is being tormented by suitors who have an interest only for her money but the great Odysseus chooses to hide himself from his wife and son. Some believe that he had forgotten who he really was, and become obsessed with becoming the storyteller because Odysseus continued to remain in disguise while using his storyteller skills for his lies. While Odysseus is talking to Eurmaeus, he chooses to script a tale of lies by telling the swineherd,<em> “I hail from Crete's broad land, I'm proud to say,  and I am a rich man's son. And many other sons  he brought up in this palace, born in wedlock,  sprung of his lawful wife. Unlike my mother.  She was a slave, a concubine he'd purchased, yes,  but he treated me on par with all his true-born sons –   Castor, Hylax's son…”  </em>
