Who is the speaker in this excerpt from book 13 of homer’s odyssey, and what inference can you make from the tone?

shall then no more, o sire of gods! be mine
the rights and honours of a power divine?
scorn'd e'en by man, and (oh severe disgrace! )
by soft phaeacians, my degenerate race!
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 lies, amidst a shining store
of brass, rich garments, and refulgent ore;
and bears triumphant to his native isle
a prize more worth than ilion's noble spoil.

the speaker in the excerpt is, a. jove b. neptune c. minerva

the tone demonstrates,
a. concern about ulysses safety in ithaca
b. anger about ulysses reaching ithaca safely
c. hope for the safe return of the phaeacians
