Read the excerpt from the odyssey.

this was an army, trained to fight on horseback
or, where the ground required, on foot. they came
with dawn over that terrain like the leaves
and blades of spring. so doom appeared to us,
dark word of zeus for us, our evil days.
my men stood up and made a fight of it—
backed on the ships, with lances kept in play,
from bright morning through the blaze of noon
so holding our beach, although so far outnumbered;
but when the sun passed toward unyoking time,
then the achaeans, one by one, gave way.

which stage of the hero’s journey is represented in this passage?

a the return home
b the road of trials
c the transformation
d the call to adventure
