Troy Passage
The Odyssey passage, Who is saying this passage and what is the tone?
I tried looking for it, but i dont understand this book at all or what their talking about. Help!!
Sing to me of the man, Muse, the man of twists and turns
driven time and again off course, once he had plundered
the hallowed heights of Troy.
Many cities of men he saw and learned their minds,
many pains he suffered, heartsick on the open sea,
fighting to save his life and bring his comrades home.
But he could not save them from disaster, hard as he strove—
the recklessness of their own ways destroyed them all,
the blind fools, they devoured the cattle of the Sun
and the Sungod blotted out the day of their return.
Launch out on his story, Muse, daughter of Zeus,
start from where you will—sing for our time too.
Homer, the author, is saying this. It is the opening lines of the Odyssey. Homer is foreshadowing to his audience about Odysseus and his journey home after the Trojan War. It is a tale of woe, hardship, and in the end, triumph. I don’t know exactly the tone of the passage, but I imagine that it would be somber and serious.
