The first choice seems like the best choice
Answer:
They believed that the gods often punished people for acting badly.
Explanation:
It is common for Greeks to have believed that they were punished by the gods for angering them. In this paragraph, it states,
"Now Zeus the lord of cloud roused in the north
a storm against the ships, and driving veils
of squall moved down like night on land and sea.
The bows went plunging at the gust; sails
cracked and lashed out strips in the big wind.
We saw death in that fury, dropped the yards..."
This excerpt unveils that the Greeks believe that Zeus was angry with them, creating a storm to "punish" the Greeks.
Thus, the correct answer would be the last one, "They believed that the gods often punished people for acting badly."
