Whose epithet is “the splendid minstrel”?

a. dolius
b. homer
c. demodocus
d. laodamas

C. Demodocus

Explanation:

I believe the right answer to be option C. Demodocus, and not D. Laodamas. In the Odyssey, Laodamas is a prince, the son of Alkinoos. He is an amazing boxer and dancer who challenges Odisseus to join and defeat him in the athletic games.

Demodocus, however, is a blind and very talented minstrel who sings three narrative songs. In the eighth book of the Odyssey, he is called "the splendid minstrel":

"Gentle Demodocus took the proffered gift

[...]

Odysseus spoke again to the blind minstrel

[...] conquering once more by Athena's power.

The splendid minstrel sang it.

And Odysseus

let the bright molten tears run down his cheeks,

[...]"

Odysseus cries after listening to Demodocus sing of how he (Odysseus) won the Trojan war.

the purpose of a nonfiction text is to give the text a rap up. for example, when i say : frogs are interesting animals is an ending. then when i say: frogs are unique in different ways. that is an intro.
