A) and his purpose was recounting===>COMMA before AND is missing.(2 IC s to be connected with COMMA FANBOYS)
B) With the purpose to recount(with the purpose makes it wordy)
C) to recount==>correct
D) therefore recounting==>changes the meaning==>seems that ILLIAD is still recounting.
E) he recounted[/quote]===>changes the meaning /// ungrammatical
hence C
