OuySyr Who is the speaker in this excerpt from Book 13 of Homer's Odyssey, and what Inference can you make fron the tone?
Shall then no more, O sire of godsl be mine
The rights and honours of a power divine?
Scorn'd e'en by man, and (oh severe disgracel)
By soft Phaeacians, my degenerate racel
Against yon destined head In vain I swore,
And menaced vengeance, ere he reach'd his shore;
To reach his natal shore was thy decree;
Mild I obey'd, for who shall war with thee?
Behold him landed, careless and asleep,
From all the eluded dangers of the deep:;
Lo where he lles, amidst a shining store
of brass, rich garments, and refulgent ore;
And bears triumphant to his native Isle
A prize more worth than lon's noble spoll.
