Answer:
Humans are under the gods' control.
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello. You have not shown the excerpt to which the question refers and this makes it impossible for it to be answered.
However, when searching for your question on the internet, I could find another question just like yours, which showed the excerpt in which Odysseus informed how the goddess Athena turned him into a beggar after he returned to his island, but that she can transform it into a noble again, when appropriate. In this excerpt, he asserts that the gods have the ability not only to disguise men, but to humiliate and exalt them as well. This shows the reader how the gods are able to control human beings and use them in whatever way they see fit.
It is important to point out that Odysseus is a character in "Odyssey", a book written by Hoomer, which tells the story of how the king of Itáca, Odysseus, managed to return home after spending 20 years abroad.
