Answer 2

Answer:

C]He loves home and is eager to get back to Ithaca.

Explanation:

One of Odysseus most notable and steady characteristics is his loyalty and faithfulness towards his wife, Penelope, and his love for and desire to return home. In the Odyssey, both Calypso and Circe wish to maintain Odysseus close, to bed him, give him children and even marry him. But it is Odysseus determination to return to his wife and to his land (the main objective of the whole Odyssey) which gives him the strength to forego pleasure and treachery in order to return home.
