Read the excerpt from Part 1 of The Odyssey by Homer.
Based on the evidence provided, readers can conclude
that Odysseus
My home is on the peaked sea-mark of Ithaca
under Mount Neion's wind-blown robe of leaves,
in sight of other islands—Dulichium,
Same, wooded Zacynthus—Ithaca
being most lofty in that coastal sea,
and northwest, while the rest lie east and south.
A rocky isle, but good for a boy's training;
I shall not see on earth a place more dear,
though I have been detained long by Calypso
O wants to rule his native land
O is eager to leave his home.
O misses his native land.
O fears for the safety of his home.
