Answer 2

C. He wanted to show that even earthly heroes have flaws and all will have to pay for their sins.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ulysses, the child of Laertes, was a focal figure in the Trojan War. In spite of the fact that his deeds are described by Homer, Dictys of Crete and numerous others, the narrative of his last voyage displayed here by Dante (90-142) has no abstract or authentic point of reference. His story, being a invention of Dante's, is interesting in The Divine Comedy.
