The epithet in line one suggest that odysseus is.... a) full of wisdom and knowldge b) extremely courageous c) proud of his wife and son d) strongly devout to the gods epither: Greathearted Odysseus, home at last

Here is the lines I think you mean,

Now from his breast into his eyes the ache

of longing mounted, and he wept at last,

his dear wife, clear and faithful, in his arms,

longed for

as the sunwarmed earth is longed for by a swimmer

spent in rough water where his ship went down

under Poseidon's blows, gale winds and tons of sea.

If you are just going by the first line, he is proud of his faithful wife.
