My men came pressing round me, pleading:

'Why not take these

cheeses, get them stowed, come back,

throw open all the pens, and make a run for it?

We'll drive the kids and lambs aboard. We say

put out again on good salt water!'

Ah,

how sound that was! Yet I refused. I wished

to see the caveman, what he had to offer-

no pretty sight, it turned out, for my friends.

-The Odyssey,

Homer

What theme is supported by the passage?

1. Food is the most important thing.

2. Curiosity can lead people into danger.

3. Be prepared for anything.
