Question

Read the passage from The Odyssey - Teiresias.

One narrow strait may take you through his blows:
denial of yourself, restraint of shipmates.
When you make landfall on Thrinakia first
and quit the violet sea, dark on the land
you'll find the grazing herds of Helios
by whom all things are seen, all speech is known.
Avoid those kine, hold fast to your intent,
and hard seafaring brings you all to Ithaka.
But if you raid the beeves, I see destruction
for ship and crew.

Which excerpt from the passage best identifies the conflict that Teiresias predicts as partially a character versus character conflict?

denial of yourself
restraint of shipmates
quit the violet sea
destruction for ship and crew

Answer 1

Restraint of shipmates

Answer 2

Restraint of shipmates is the conflict that Teiresias predicts as partially a character versus character conflict from the above passage.

Teiresias foretells Odysseus' future that he and warns him not to touch or harm any flocks of the Sun god otherwise he will never return back to his home and family. After the departure of Tiresias, he calls the spirit of his mother and talks to it. His mother Anticleia gives him an update about the affairs going on in Ithaca. She also tells her grieves that how she died waiting for him to return. Later, he called other spirits of famous men and heroes and heard about their lives and death.
