Answer:

The answer is explained below.

Explanation:

The Odyssey, by ancient Greek poet Homer, is the second part of The Iliad, and it tells the story of Odysseus trying to come back home after the War of Troy.

In the excerpt, the speaker describes Oddyseus' men using negative words as "mutinous" or "fool," also, he suggests that the actions were caused by not taking good care of their own situation. Rhetorical devices as simile (compare two things) are very important to persuade the reader (shambling like cattle) how difficult the situation was.

Odysseus is portrayed as a bat in this passage.

  • Odysseus is compared as a bat in this passage. "I rushed towards the enormous fig tree, grabbing on like a bat under a limb," the analogy in the extract reads. "Odysseus compares himself to a trapped bat in the first person. He is unable to flee. His situation is ominous, and his future outlook is poor.
  • A mythological Greek ruler of Ithaca, Odysseus—also known by his Latin name, Ulysses—is the protagonist of Homer's epic poem, The Odyssey. In Homer's Iliad and other works in the same epic cycle, Odysseus also has a significant part.
  • The Odyssey's titular hero, Odysseus, is probably what most people know about him. This epic tells the story of his struggles—which lasted for ten years—to reclaim his throne as the legitimate king of Ithaca after the Trojan War.

Thus the correct option is B.
