Twenty years gone, and I am back again

on my own island.

As for my change of skin,

that is a charm Athena, Hope of Soldiers,

uses as she will; she has the knack

to make me seem a beggar man sometimes

and sometimes young, with finer clothes about me.

It is no hard thing for the gods of heaven

to glorify a man or bring him low.

-The Odyssey,

Homer

Based on what Odysseus says in the passage, what has he learned?

(A) Humans can become like gods.

(B) Humans are under the gods' control.
