A, like right here, if we were right next to eachother i oculd tell you its "number A"! lol
Epic in the poem refers to the journeys of great people.
In the beginning lines of Book 1, the poet calls upon Muse, a daughter of Zeus often credited with inspiration. The poem is open this way so that they can introduce that the muse is the source of strength and inspiration for the hero in this story.
He tries to save himself-- he boards a boat with all of the town's gold to try and escape.
Hope this helped!
