Answer:
By describing their neglect of orders
Explanation:
The first line of the excerpt shows the order that was given to the Odysseus men. "but on the spot I told them: 'Back, and quickly! Out to sea again!' ". But the succeeding lines reveal that instead of the Odysseus men to obey this order given to them, they were busy feasting and merrying. They were drinking wine and feasting on sheep and cattle. The writer described them as "mutinous" and "fools" because of this act.
By the time they were engaging in this careless acts, the fugitives were calling to arms the force of Circones.
I'd say the best option is "representation of reality itself" considering it is art and literature of making real life out of the play or writings.
