Question

Which excerpt from Part 2 of The Odyssey best supports the conclusion that Odysseus is clever?

the rest of you stand by; I'll make the crossing
in my own ship, with my own company,

and took some cheese to eat; then sat in silence
‘My name is Nohbdy: Mother, father, and friends,
everyone calls me Nohbdy.’

while blood ran out around the red-hot bar.
