Question

What does Odysseus's failure to wake up and prevent his men from slaughtering the sun god's cattle signify?

Eurylochus's skills as a leader
the power of the gods
Odysseus's exhaustion
the disloyalty of the crew

Answer 1

I would say D. He had them swear an oath not to touch the sacred cattle, and whilst he slept Eurylochus convinced his men that it would be better to risk the wrath of the gods than to die of hunger.
