Question

Read the excerpt from The Odyssey.

Plunder we took, and we enslaved the women,
to make division, equal shares to all—
but on the spot I told them: 'Back, and quickly!
Out to sea again!' My men were mutinous,
fools, on stores of wine. Sheep after sheep they
butchered by the surf, and shambling cattle,
feasting,—while fugitives went inland, running
to call to arms the main force of Cicones.

Which is the most effective paraphrase of this excerpt?

When Odysseus and his men arrived on the island of Cicones, they enslaved women and feasted on the sheep and cattle they had butchered by the sea.
Although Odysseus tells his men that they need to return quickly to the ship, the men are too busy dividing their findings into equal shares for everyone.
Odysseus warns his men to return to the ship, but many of the men did not listen and instead ran inland to see what else they could take for themselves.
The men continued their acts of greed despite Odysseus’s commands to stop and return to the ship, and the fugitives of Cicones ran inland to fetch help.

When Odysseus and his men arrived on the island of Cicones, they stole their treasures, and enslaved the women. His men became drunk and feasted on the sheep and cattle they had butchered by the sea.

While they divide up the treasures, Odysseus warns his men to return to the ship, but many of the men did not listen and instead ran inland to see what else they could take for themselves.

The men continued their acts of greed, despite Odysseus’s commands to stop and return to the ship, while the fugitives of Cicones ran inland to fetch help.

I just reworded it a little bit. Some of it was a little repetitive, but still pretty good all together. I apologize if my grammar is off at all its almost four am and I have not slept.
