Here is your part: at break of day tomorrow home with you, go mingle with our princes. The swineherd later on will take me down the port-side trail – a beggar, by my looks, hangdog and old. If they make fun of me in my own courtyard, let your ribs cage up your springing heart, no matter what I suffer, no matter if they pull me by the heels or practice shots at me, to drive me out. Look on, hold down your anger. You may even plead with them, by heaven! in gentle terms to quit their horseplay – not that they will heed you, rash as they are, facing their day of wrath. —The Odyssey, Homer Which lines from the passage support the theme “true strength is knowing when not to act”? “Here is your part: at break of day tomorrow / home with you, go mingle with our princes.” “The swineherd later on will take me down / the port-side trail – a beggar, by my looks, / hangdog and old.” “If they make fun of me / in my own courtyard, let your ribs cage up / your springing heart, no matter what I suffer.”

Respuesta :

The lines from the passage which best support the theme “true strength is knowing when not to act” are:

“If they make fun of me in my own courtyard, let your ribs cage up your springing heart, no matter what I suffer, no matter if they pull me by the heels or practice shots at me, to drive me out. Look on, hold down your anger.”

There are some parts that have special meaning and add a more solid example of self-control: “let your ribs cage up your springing heart”, this means that Odyssey has to suppress his feelings. And of course: "Look on, hold down your anger.” This quotation requires no explanation.
