Respuesta :
he is identified as either A. because the whole story is focused on him. or C. because it shows his conflicts with himself
The correct answer is A. Odysseus is the main focus of the story.
Explanation:
In literature, the protagonist refers to the main character in a story, this means the character the story is about and the one that faces the main conflict. In the case of the epic "The Odyssey" by Homer the protagonist or main character is Odysseus because the story focuses on the trip and challenges of Odysseus as he tries to return home. Also, although Odysseus is surrounded by other characters during the story he is the only main focus in all the story from the beginning to the end and the one that is mainly affected by the conflict. Therefore, Homer which is the author of "The Odyssey" identify Odysseus as the protagonist of the story by making him the main focus of the story.
