Read the following passage from The Odyssey and answer the question that follows.

We’d scarcely put that island astern when suddenly I saw smoke and heavy breakers, heard their booming thunder. The men were terrified —oarblades flew from their grip, clattering down to splash in the vessel’s wash. She lay there, dead in the water … no hands to tug the blades that drove her on. But I strode down the decks to rouse my crewmen, halting beside each one with a bracing, winning word: ‘Friends, we’re hardly strangers at meeting danger —and this danger is no worse than what we faced when Cyclops penned us up in his vaulted cave with crushing force! But even from there my courage, my presence of mind and tactics saved us all, and we will live to remember this someday, I have no doubt. Up now, follow my orders, all of us work as one! You men at the thwarts —lay on with your oars and strike the heaving swells, trusting that Zeus will pull us through these straits alive. You, helmsman, here’s your order —burn it in your mind —the steering-oar of our rolling ship is in your hands. Keep her clear of that smoke and surging breakers, head for those crags or she’ll catch you off guard, she’ll yaw over there —you’ll plunge us all in ruin!’
