Answer:

When they arrived on the island of the Lotus-Eaters, Odysseus sent 3 men to scout the island for human life. After days of their absence, Odysseus himself scoured the island looking for them. He found the three amongst the natives. These natives were friendly and hospitable. They even shared their "Lotus" food with the 3 scouts. The food, however, was some sort of drug that made them forget all about their mission and their quest to go back to Greece and made them want to drown themselves in ecstasy on the island. Odysseus had to wrestle with all three of them and drag them back to the ship. He had to tie them down to the barrels of the ship and sail away as fast as the crew can.

What does this tell us about Odysseus? He would never forsake his crew members. He easily could have left the three there on the island and have fewer people to feed and consume their meager food rations. But Odysseus, being the ideal leader, took all measures just to save his crew members whom he knew depended on him.

How does Epstein develop his central idea that genetics plays an important role in athletic ability over the course this excerpt

Veseljchak [2.6K]

<em>The Sports Gene </em>was written by David Epstein and published in 2013.

This book supports the idea that sports success has to do with both 'nature and nurture', that both genetics and training are highly influential, but also that each of them cannot bring what the other does.

The more a person practises, the better he/she will be. But up to a point. No one can achieve something that his/her body is not biologically or genetically prepared to do. This idea is in disagreement with other authors such as Anders Ericsson, who supported that training mattered more than innate talents and that could offset genetic inclinations.
