Answer:
The invocation in the poem "Odyssey" tells of the disobedient acts of Odysseus's men that stopped them to reach Ithaca whereas the obedience of Odysseus to gods helped them reach their destination.
Step-by-step explanation:
Homer in his epic "The Odyssey" opened the lines invoking the Muses to help him tell the story of the Greek hero, Odysseus, who survived the Trojan War. In his invocation, Homer introduces two plots that will eventually merge in the poem.
In the first twelve lines of the invocation, Homer tells us of the struggles that Odysseus and his men are going to face. Through invocation we get to know that Odysseus will face hardships because of the disobedient acts of his men to gods and obedience of the Odysseus will help them come out of these hardships.
