What does this excerpt from book 21 of homer's odyssey reveal about ulysses’s wife, penelope?
to whom the queen: "if fame engage your views,
forbear those acts which infamy pursues;
wrong and oppression no renown can raise;
know, friend! that virtue is the path to praise.
the stature of our guest, his port, his face,
speak him descended from no vulgar race.
to him the bow, as he desires, convey;
and to his hand if phoebus give the day,
hence, to reward his merit, be shall bear
a two-edged falchion and a shining spear,
embroider'd sandals, a rich cloak and vest,
a safe conveyance to his port of rest."

Which sentence best describes the biased way the author approaches this topic? boars = bacon. and gammon, chops, sausages and feel your salivary glands begin to tingle at the thought of your teeth sinking into that first tender mouthful, and you will be half way towards a sensible attitude towards these creatures. they’re pigs. porkers, hogs, swine, if you will. they dig up people’s gardens, occasionally attack their dogs, spread disease and generally cause a nuisance. in culinary terms, they’re no different to cows or sheep or any of the other feeble-minded, four-legged frolickers which, in various pasties, pies and other assorted pastry cases, end up on our steaming plates on a daily basis. low in fat but high in deliciousness, by eating a wild boar you aren’t depriving poor little peppa and george of a long-lost cousin, but rather reaffirming your god-given position at the top of the food chain. if a boar could eat you it would, thus i say we should return the favour with interest. so say no to the misty-eyed squealers and man up, tuck in and pig out!
