Charles · Answer 1

misses his native land.

Explanation:

Based on the evidence provided by this passage of "The Odyssey" by Homer, readers can conclude that Odysseus misses his native land. Odysseus is summoned by Agamemnon and Menelaus to fight against Troy. He does not want to go because he loves his family and his native land, Ithaca. When Odysseus is far away from his land he misses it because it is his dearest place in the world.
