Which text in these excerpts from book 12 of homer's odyssey portray the theme of leadership?

a) "'oh stay, o pride of greece! ulysses, stay!
oh cease thy course, and listen to our lay!
blest is the man ordain'd our voice to hear,
the song instructs the soul, and charms the ear.

b) "meantime, forgetful of the voice divine,
all dreadful bright my limbs in armour shine;
high on the deck i take my dangerous stand,
two glittering javelins lighten in my hand;
prepared to whirl the whizzing spear i stay,
till the fell fiend arise to seize her prey.

c) "struck with despair, with trembling hearts we view'd
the yawning dungeon, and the tumbling flood;
when lo! fierce scylla stoop'd to seize her prey,

d) i turn, and view them quivering in the skies;
they call, and aid with outstretch'd arms implore;
in vain they call! those arms are stretch'd no more.

e) "'o friends! o ever exorcised in care!
hear heaven's commands, and reverence what ye hear!

the speech this question is referring to is president kennedy's special message to the congress on urgent national needs, may 25, 1961

kennedy responds in a very direct and concrete way to those thinking that communism is a positive system:

"yet their aggression is more often concealed than open. they have fired no missiles; and their troops are seldom seen. they send arms, agitators, aid, technicians and propaganda to every troubled area. but where fighting is required, it is usually done by others--by guerrillas striking at night, by assassins striking alone--assassins who have taken the lives of four thousand civil officers in the last twelve months in vietnam alone--by subversives and saboteurs and insurrectionists, who in some cases control whole areas inside of independent nations." (kennedy)

president kennedy presents communism as cowardly, as a hidden and treacherous weapon that strikes from the shadows like thieves, he represents the system as not even being capable of showing and open and overt attack or confrontation. to finish up the response, he expresses that the system attacks even a country's idependence and freedom.
