context on a theme?

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.

muse, a minor goddess of inspiration; Homer's Odyssey is no
exception to this practice.

D. Fate in Homer's Odyssey is a common concern of the characters
because the ancient Greeks believed their destinies were
controlled by the whims of the gods.
