The excerpt that best indicates Teiresias predicts a character versus character conflict is "restraint of shipmates." This phrase suggests a conflict between Odysseus and his crew, as it implies that he may have to impose self-control and authority over them to prevent them from making destructive choices, particularly regarding the herds of Helios.
Read the passage from The Odyssey - Teiresias.
One narrow strait may take you through his blows:
denial of yourself, restraint of shipmates.
When you make landfall on Thrinakia first
and quit the violet sea, dark on the land
you'll find the grazing herds of Helios
by whom all things are seen, all speech is known.
Avoid those kine, hold fast to your intent,
and hard seafaring brings you all to Ithaka.
But if you raid the beeves, I see destruction
for ship and crew.
Which excerpt from the passage best indicates that Teiresias predicts a character versus character conflict?
