Read the excerpt from the odyssey. now from his breast into his eyes the ache of longing mounted, and he wept at last, his dear wife, clear and faithful, in his arms, longed for as the sunwarmed earth is longed for by a swimmer spent in rough water where his ship went down under poseidon's blows, gale winds and tons of sea. few men can keep alive through a big surf to crawl, clotted with brine, on kindly beaches in joy, in joy, knowing the abyss behind: how does this excerpt from the end of the story show that odysseus has changed in the course of his adventure? he is overly confident in his ability to conquer poseidon. he values home and family more than personal glory. he misses the opportunity to sail in stormy seas. he is happiest when in command of a difficult battle.

He values home and family more than personal glory.

Explanation:

In this excerpt, we learn that Odysseus has changed throughout his journey. Although he always had the desire to go back home, and he longed to see his wife, he nevertheless was reasonably happy with having great adventures and seeking glory. He also desired other women. However, towards the end of his journey, we see that Odysseus does not desire any of this anymore. He is tired of travelling and struggling, and his greatest wish is to be comfortable at home with his wife.

according to hess's theory, when the magma cooled, it would expand and push the tectonic plates apart. it would push the north and south america plates to the west and eurasia and africa ones to the east. the atlantic ocean would get wider but the coastlines of the masses would stay the same.

harry hammond hess was a geologist and a united states navy officer in the second world war. he is considered to be one of the founding fathers of the theory of plate tectonics. he is known for his theories on sea floor spreading, stating that the movement of the continents was the result of see floor spreading. the continents are attached to the plates and do not move separately. the plates themselves shift and change shape, carrying the continents along.
