Read the passage from The Odyssey - Elpenor. By night our ship ran onward toward the Ocean's bourne, the realm and region of the Men of Winter, hidden in mist and cloud. Never the flaming eye of Helios lights on those men at morning, when he climbs the sky of stars, nor in descending earthward out of heaven; ruinous night being rove over those wretches. Which is the best paraphrase of the passage? It’s always cloudy where the Men of Winter live. It’s always misty where the Men of Winter live. It’s always dark where the Men of Winter live. It’s always sunny where the Men of Winter live.

It’s always misty where the Men of Winter live.

Explanation:

A paraphrase is the process or state of retelling the same issue or information, but in a much more clearer and shorter way. This restatement of a passage from a text or even a text enables the readers understand the point more easily, by the use of other words which still has the same meaning as that of the replaced words.

Taken from F. Scott Fitzgerald's translated version of Homer's "The Odyssey" Chapter Xi, we see the protagonist Odysseus and his men going into the land of the dead. The first to approach them was the spirit of Elpenor, who had recently died in the land of Circe. The paraphrase of the whole excerpt from the question will be that the land of the "Men of Winter" which is continually "hidden in mist and cloud". It refers or suggests that it is always misty in the land of the "Men of Winter".

the language of nature was a manifestation from god as he said "let there be light" and there was light the world began to assume visible, comprehensible form.

what ever we know now think of the old vision of creation we can be sure that with out the speaking of word -without language- we would have no science today with its striking power to illuminate the world.
