Answer:

"The Odyssey" is one of the two great epic poems that was written by Greek poet Homer. While the first one, "The Iliad" narrates the events that take place during the Trojan War, "The Odyssey" is the narration of the events and circumstances that surround the main character, Odysseus, as he travels from the Trojan War back to his home, after being away from it for several years.

"The Odyssey" manages several themes in its storyline, among which, we find the following:

B. Ithaca is Odysseus´s true home: from the end of the war, Odysseus´s entire efforts focus on his returning back to his home in Ithaca. And even though he is tempted several times to let that idea go, he remains loyal to it. In Ithaca is where his beloved family is, and he intends to go back at whatever price.

C. Too much pride is dangerous: Odysseus experiences the cost of too much pride several times along his journey, learning that humility, not pride, is always a much smarter roadway.

E. Odysseus is often quite prideful: Just as the option above, Odysseus comes upon circumstances in which an excess of pride causes severe damages to those he wants to protect and love. He soon learns that too much pride leads to disaster.

F. Telemachus loves his father: The topic of love is one of the biggest ones. Both from Penelope and Telemachus towards Odysseus, which is what drives them to always await for him to return, even after so many years of his absence, and from Odysseus to them. It is love that drives Telemachus to remain faithful to his father and seek help to protect his mother from the suitors, while his father returns from the war. It is also love that helps Telemachus to recognize his father in the end.
