1st Excerpt - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔from Book 4: The Red-Haired King and His Lady
-"In my life I have met, in many countries, foresight and wit in many first rate men,
but never have I seen one like Odysseus for steadiness and a stout heart. Here, for instance,
is what he did—had the cold nerve to do—inside the hollow horse, where we were waiting,
picked men all of us, for the Trojan slaughter, when all of a sudden, you came by—I dare say
drawn by some superhuman power that planned an exploit for the Trojans; and Deiphobus,
that handsome man, came with you. Three times you walked around it, patting it everywhere,
, and called by name the flower of our fighters, making your voice sound like their wives,
calling.
Diomedes and I crouched in the center along with Odysseus; we could hear you plainly; and
listening, we two were swept by waves of longing—to reply, or go.
Odysseus fought us down, despite our craving, and all the Achaeans kept their lips shut tight,
all but Anticlus. Desire moved his throat to hail you, but Odysseus' great hands clamped over
his jaws, and held. So he saved us all, till Pallas Athena led you away at last."
