Which event is described in this excerpt from Book 13 of Homer's Odyssey?
She spake, then touch'd him with her powerful wand: The skin shrunk up, and wither'd at her hand; A swift old age o'er all his members spread; A sudden frost was sprinkled on his head; Nor longer in the heavy eye-ball shined The glance divine, forth-beaming from the mind. His robe, which spots indelible besmear, In rags dishonest flutters with the air: A stag's torn hide is lapp'd around his reins; A rugged staff his trembling hand sustains; And at his side a wretched scrip was hung, Wide-patch'd, and knotted to a twisted thong. So looked the chief, so moved: to mortal eyes Object uncouth! a man of miseries! 1. Minerva hides Ulysses in a gray mist. 2. Minerva gives Ulysses a divine appearance. 3. Minerva disguises Ulysses as an old beggar. 4. Minerva disguises Ulysses as a shepherd.
