Answer:

- Deception.

- Laertes.

Explanation:

Based on the excerpt provided in the question, Book XXIV of Homer's epic narrative "The Odyssey" contains the scene where Odysseus had gone to visit his father Laertes. He had grown old, worried about the fate of his son who had gone out of Ithaca so many years ago. Odysseus pretended to be someone named Eperitus who had encountered Odysseus. This scene depicts the theme of deception where the son pretends to be a stranger, testing the loyalty of his own father. The recollection of the old father about his son made Odysseus reveal his true identity to his father and both had a teary but happy reunion in the end.

In the mentioned lines, the author makes a metaphor about poetry "slopping lazily over the couch of a page" while the author has to "remove its muddy shoes and rearrange the pillows". That means that it takes some hard work and long road from the idea and raw material to the finished poem.
