By night

our ship ran onward toward the Ocean's bourne,

the realm and region of the Men of Winter,

hidden in mist and cloud. Never the flaming

eye of Helios lights on those men

at morning, when he climbs the sky of stars,

nor in descending earthward out of heaven;

ruinous night being rove over those wretches.

Which is the best paraphrase of the passage?

A.) It's always cloudy where the Men of Winter live.

B.) It's always misty where the Men of Winter live.

C.) It's always dark where the Men of Winter live.

D.) It's always sunny where the Men of Winter live.

The correct answer should be C.) It’s always dark where the Men of Winter live.

The eye of Helios is the sun and since it never goes over them, not in the morning or during the day, there's no light, so they are the wretches where "ruinous night being rove over those wretches"
