In The Odyssey, who is Odysseus’ nemesis?

Priam
Poseidon
Achilles
Helen

The correct answer is: Poseidon

In The Odyssey, Odysseus’ nemesis is Poseidon because he was angered by Odysseus' blinding of his son Polyphemus, the cyclops. Priam and Achilles do not have significant interactions with Odysseus in this story. Helen, while causing conflict in the Trojan War, does not have any direct animosity towards Odysseus.
