Sing to me of the man, Muse, the man of twists and turns
driven time and again off course, once he had plundered
the hallowed heights of Troy

Looks like he's appealing to one of the Muses.....
As it is an epic poem, maybe it's the Muse of epic poetry, Calliope ?
I'm not at all sure of this, but I'm sure that your coursework holds the answer.

Marge: "Well you won't find it in a can of Duff!"
