which of the following analyses most clearly explores the effect of historical
context on a theme?

dawn," which were used by ancient greek storytellers to make epic
poetry easier to memorize
o
b. in homer's odyssey, the idea of leadership comes up repeatedly
and is embodied in the character of odysseus, whose poor
leadership often leads to negative consequences.
o
c. one of the most common features of epics is the invocation of a
muse, a minor goddess of inspiration; homer's odyssey is no
exception to this practice.

because the ancient greeks believed their destinies were
controlled by the whims of the gods.
