But on the spot I told them: 'Back, and quickly!

Out to sea again!' My men were mutinous,


fools, on stores of wine. Sheep after sheep


they butchered by the surf, and shambling cattle,


feasting, – while fugitives went inland, running


to call to arms the main force of Cicones.


-The Odyssey,

Homer

Answer:

E.Obedience and self-control are positive traits.
