SECTION A

Answer one question from this section.


1 Read the following passages and answer the questions.


‘σοὶ δ’ αὐτῷ πυκινῶς ὑποθήσομαι, αἴ κε πίθηαι·
νῆ’ ἄρσας ἐρέτῃσιν ἐείκοσιν, ἥ τις ἀρίστη,
ἔρχεο πευσόμενος πατρὸς δὴν οἰχομένοιο,
ἤν τίς τοι εἴπῃσι βροτῶν, ἢ ὄσσαν ἀκούσῃς
ἐκ Διός, ἥ τε μάλιστα φέρει κλέος ἀνθρώποισι. 5
πρῶτα μὲν ἐς Πύλον ἐλθὲ καὶ εἴρεο Νέστορα δῖον,
κεῖθεν δὲ Σπάρτηνδε παρὰ ξανθὸν Μενέλαον·
ὃς γὰρ δεύτατος ἦλθεν Ἀχαιῶν χαλκοχιτώνων.
εἰ μέν κεν πατρὸς βίοτον καὶ νόστον ἀκούσῃς,
ἦ τ’ ἂν τρυχόμενός περ ἔτι τλαίης ἐνιαυτόν· 10
εἰ δέ κε τεθνηῶτος ἀκούσῃς μηδ’ ἔτ’ ἐόντος,
νοστήσας δὴ ἔπειτα φίλην ἐς πατρίδα γαῖαν
σῆμά τέ οἱ χεῦαι καὶ ἐπὶ κτέρεα κτερείξαι
πολλὰ μάλ’, ὅσσα ἔοικε, καὶ ἀνέρι μητέρα δοῦναι.
αὐτὰρ ἐπὴν δὴ ταῦτα τελευτήσῃς τε καὶ ἔρξῃς, 15
φράζεσθαι δὴ ἔπειτα κατὰ φρένα καὶ κατὰ θυμὸν
ὅππως κε μνηστῆρας ἐνὶ μεγάροισι τεοῖσι
κτείνῃς ἠὲ δόλῳ ἢ ἀμφαδόν· οὐδέ τί σε χρὴ
νηπιάας ὀχέειν, ἐπεὶ οὐκέτι τηλίκος ἐσσι.’

Homer, Odyssey I.279–297


(a)* How effectively does Homer convey Athena’s support for Telemachus in this extract?

You should refer both to the content and to the language of the passage. [15]

τοῖσι δὲ τερπομένοισι μέλας ἐπὶ ἕσπερος ἦλθε·
δὴ τότε κακκείοντες ἔβαν οἶκόνδε ἕκαστος.
Τηλέμαχος δ’, ὅθι οἱ θάλαμος περικαλλέος αὐλῆς
ὑψηλὸς δέδμητο περισκέπτῳ ἐνὶ χώρῳ,
ἔνθ’ ἔβη εἰς εὐνὴν πολλὰ φρεσὶ μερμηρίζων. 5
τῷ δ’ ἄρ’ ἅμ’ αἰθομένας δαίδας φέρε κεδνὰ ἰδυῖα
Εὐρύκλει’, Ὦπος θυγάτηρ Πεισηνορίδαο,
τήν ποτε Λαέρτης πρίατο κτεάτεσσιν ἑοῖσιν
πρωθήβην ἔτ’ ἐοῦσαν, ἐεικοσάβοια δ’ ἔδωκεν,
ἶσα δέ μιν κεδνῇ ἀλόχῳ τίεν ἐν μεγάροισιν, 10
εὐνῇ δ’ οὔ ποτ’ ἔμικτο, χόλον δ’ ἀλέεινε γυναικός·
ἥ οἱ ἅμ’ αἰθομένας δαίδας φέρε, καί ἑ μάλιστα
δμῳάων φιλέεσκε, καὶ ἔτρεφε τυτθὸν ἐόντα.
ὤιξεν δὲ θύρας θαλάμου πύκα ποιητοῖο,
ἕζετο δ’ ἐν λέκτρῳ, μαλακὸν δ’ ἔκδυνε χιτῶνα· 15
καὶ τὸν μὲν γραίης πυκιμηδέος ἔμβαλε χερσίν.

Homer, Odyssey I.423–438


(b) Translate τοῖσι δὲ τερπομένοισι … φρεσὶ μερμηρίζων (lines 1–5). [5]


(c) τῷ δ’ ἄρ’ ἅμ’ αἰθομένας … ἔμβαλε χερσίν (lines 6–16): what information do these lines
provide about the relationship between Eurycleia and the family she serves? [6]
