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.
for odysseus and his men, the loss of helios, the sun, symbolizes a loss of
death.
fear.
hope.
power.
