Question

Q:Whom does the writer invoke in this passage?
I sing of warfare and a man at war.
From the sea-coast of Troy in early days
He came to Italy by destiny,
To our Lavinian western shore,
A fugitive, this captain, buffeted

Till he could found a city and bring home
His gods to Laetium, land of the Latin race,
The Alban lords, and the high walls of Rome.
Tell me the causes now, O Muse, how galled

From her old wound, the queen of gods compelled him—

a) The Gods | b) A man at War | c)the Muse | d)the Alban lords

Answer 1

@Nurali thanks, I got it wrong and now I failed my test. :)

Answer 2

To invoke: is to cite or appeal to (someone or something) as an authority for an action or in support of an argument.
the passage is speaking ABOUT a man of war "I sing of warfare and a man at war."
They want to know who the passage invokes though (calls upon). "Tell me the causes now, O Muse, how galled" they call out to the Muse.
