Which excerpt from The Odyssey - Teiresais is this paraphrasing? Now came the soul of Antikleia, dead, my mother, daughter of Autolykos, dead now, though living still when I took ship for holy Troy. Seeing this ghost I grieved, but held her off, through pang on pang of tears, till I should know the presence of Teiresias. Soon from the dark that prince of Thebes came forward bearing a golden staff; and he addressed me Great captain, a fair wind and the honey lights of home are all you seek. But anguish lies ahead

I forgot which excerpt this is but it's the one where he visits the land of the dead near the beginning (remember that antikleia is odysseus's dead mom), when it comes to these types of questions focus mainly on character names and the motif of the paraphrased section
