Question

Which line in this excerpt from Homer's Odyssey best shows that Ulysses was a good ruler who always remembered his responsibility for his homeland, Ithaca?

In vain Calypso long constrained my stay,

With sweet, reluctant, amorous delay;

With all her charms as vainly Circe strove,

And added magic to secure my love.

In pomps or joys, the palace or the grot,

My country's image never was forgot;

My absent parents rose before my sight,

And distant lay contentment and delight.
