Read the following passage about Odysseus from Part 2 of the Odyssey.
But the man skilled in all ways of contending,
satisfied by the great bows left and heft,
like musician, like a harper, when
with quite hand upon his instrument
he draws between his thumb and forefinger
a sweet new string upon a peg: so effortlessly
Odysseus in one motion strung the bow.
