Which of the following does NOT occur when Menelaus captures Proteus?

Answer: At the beginning of Menelaus' story, the men are in a bad state on the island. With vibrant language Homer describes the sailors' "strength to have

been exhausted ... whom the pangs of hunger scattered every day round the coast to angle with barbed hooks for fish". The practical effect of the hunger is a vivid and desperate hunt for food.

Menelaus soon meets Eidothee, the daughter of Proteus; - she rather like Telemachus is not certain of her parentage ("He is my father too, as people say"). Eidothee then outlines how to speak to Proteus. Her description is twenty-five lines long, and throughout emphasises the difficulty of coming across Proteus.
