Answer: Avenge the wrong
The Greek epic poem ‘Odyssey’ was written by Homer.
A sequel to ‘Iliad’, the poem tells the story of Odysseus’ journey home after the Troys are defeated.
In the given excerpt, the line ‘How vain thy efforts to avenge the wrong!’ conveys the meaning that the hero’s acts are of no use when it comes to taking revenge on those who hurt him.
Thus, the words ‘avenge the wrong’ mean ‘to punish someone who hurt you’.
