Answer:

Demodocus is a poet who often visits the court of Alcinous, king of the Phaeacians on the island of Scherie. During Odysseus' stay on Scherie, Demodocus performs three narrative songs.

Explanation:

Demodocus, whose name means "beloved of the people," has several important functions in book 8, not the least of which is that Demodocus gives us a clear picture of the importance of the bard in Bronze Age oral culture. In addition, his songs about Odysseus—and, more important, Odysseus's reaction to those songs—prompt the key question from Odysseus's Phaeacian host, King Alcinous: "Who are you?"

tangare [24]

According to the text, certain discovery, about the location of trapped slave men, women or kids used to be updated on a Sunday, which in turn set the Underground railroad late to set in motion.

Explanation:

Harriet Tubman, who was into rescuing and setting free slaves from the various location that she got to know of, used to risk her life to save them and set them free.

Certain locations and information that she got, used to be received on a Sunday, due to which a whole day was considered wasted.

Even the methods she implied to get hunters of slaves to be rewarded to not do so, were printed later than Sunday, again delaying the railroad to freedom for the slaves.
