I think it's the first answer

Answer:

The correct answer is Tiresias is telling Odysseus how to appease Poseidon.

Explanation:

Odysseus wants to return home, and goes in search of the advice of Tiresias, an old blind fortune teller from the city of Thebes.

Tiresias gives advice and warnings to Odysseus about the trip he will undertake to return home.

He tells him that he will be able to get home again, but that the trip will be very difficult, and that once he gets there, he must appease Poseidon. His words were: “As for yourself, death shall come to you from the sea, and your life shall ebb away very gently when you are full of years and peace of mind, and your people shall bless you. All that I have said will come true.”
