question 5 (multiple choice worth 4 points)

they led roman historians to question their loyalty to the roman gods.
they caused roman historians to disagree over the origins of roman culture
they inspired virgil to compose an epic poem about roman history
they caused cato to blame the greeks for the loss of values in roman society

Explanation:

Homer's Greek epics were a major cultural influence on Rome. Virgil explicitly modeled his epic The Aeneid (which tells the foundational story of Rome) after Homer's Iliad and Odyssey. The other options are incorrect: Homer's works did not drive historians to question Roman gods or disagree over cultural origins, and Cato's criticism of Greek influence was not tied specifically to Homer's epics.

Answer:

They inspired Virgil to compose an epic poem about Roman history.
