Which excerpt from The Odyssey - Teiresais is this paraphrasing?
1 Now came the soul of Antikleia, dead, my mother, daughter of Autolykos, dead now, though living still when I took ship for holy Troy.
2 Seeing this ghost I grieved, but held her off, through pang on pang of tears, till I should know the presence of Teiresias.
3 Soon from the dark that prince of Thebes came forward bearing a golden staff; and he addressed me
4 Great captain, a fair wind and the honey lights of home are all you seek.
