Introduction to Individuality and Conformity: "Initiation"
Question 19 of 25 • AFC ASVAB Verbal B S2
Read the passage from The Odyssey - Teiresias.But anguish lies ahead;the god who thunders on the land prepares it,not to be shaken from your track, implacable,in rancor for the son whose eye you blinded.One narrow strait may take you through his blows:denial of yourself, restraint of shipmates.When you make landfall on Thrinakia firstand quit the violet sea, dark on the landyou'll find the grazing herds of Heliosby whom all things are seen, all speech is known.Avoid those kine, hold fast to your intent,and hard seafaring brings you all to Ithaka.But if you raid the beeves, I see destructionfor ship and crew.
