Which of these excerpts from homer's odyssey indicates the theme of deception?

"all hail! ye virgin daughters of the main!
ye streams, beyond my hopes, beheld again!
to you once more your own ulysses bows;
attend his transports, and receive his vows!
if jove prolong my days, and pallas crown
the growing virtues of my youthful son,
to you shall rites divine be ever paid,
and grateful offerings on your altars laid."
. .
"son of laertes! much-experienced man!
the suitor-train thy earliest care demand,
of that luxurious race to rid the land;
three years thy house their lawless rule has seen,
and proud addresses to the matchless queen.
but she thy absence mourns from day to day,
and inly bleeds, and silent wastes away;
elusive of the bridal hour, she gives
fond hopes to all, and all with hopes deceives."
. .
"oft have i heard in crete this island's name;
for 'twas from crete, my native soil, i came,
self-banished thence. i sail'd before the wind,
and left my children and my friends behind.
from fierce idomeneus' revenge i flew,
whose son, the swift orsilochus, i slew
(with brutal force he seized my trojan prey,
due to the toils of many a bloody day).
unseen i 'scaped, and favour'd by the night,
in a phoenician vessel took my flight,
for pyle or elis bound; but tempests toss'd
and raging billows drove us on your coast.

Read the excerpt from "the most dangerous game." a man, who had been hiding in the curtains of the bed, was standing there. "rainsford! " screamed the general. "how in god's name did you get here? " "swam," said rainsford. "i found it quicker than walking through the jungle." the general sucked in his breath and smiled. "i congratulate you," he said. "you have won the game." rainsford did not smile. "i am still a beast at bay," he said, in a low, hoarse voice. "get ready, general zaroff." the general made one of his deepest bows. "i see," he said. "splendid! one of us is to furnish a repast for the hounds. the other will sleep in this very excellent bed. on guard, rainsford." . . he had never slept in a better bed, rainsford decided. adrian is writing an essay about "the most dangerous game.” which detail from the excerpt best supports his idea that rainsford is unchanged and still feels that the hunter is justified in killing the hunted? a man, who had been hiding in the curtains of the bed, was standing there. "swam," said rainsford. "i found it quicker than walking through the jungle." rainsford did not smile. "i am still a beast at bay," he said, in a low, hoarse voice. "get ready, general zaroff." he had never slept in a better bed, rainsford decided.
