Question

Read the excerpt from Part 2 of The Odyssey. Why not take these cheeses, get them stowed, come back, throw open all the pens, and make a run for it? We'll drive the kids and lambs aboard. We say put out again on good salt water!' Ah how sound that was!Yet I refused. I wished to see the caveman , what he had to offer- no pretty sight, it turned out, for my friends What theme is supported by the excerpt? It is important to see new sights People should indulge their curiosities It is wise to follow the counsel of trusted friends People should trust their instincts

Answer 1

The theme supported by the excerpt is "It is wise to follow the counsel of trusted friends." In this passage, Odysseus's companions suggest a prudent course of action—taking the cheeses and leaving quickly—but Odysseus chooses to ignore their advice out of curiosity to see the caveman. This decision ultimately leads to negative consequences for him and his men, highlighting the importance of heeding the advice of trusted companions.
