B) Battered but unruffled.

Explanation: In the given passage from "The Odyssey" we can see the description of Odysseus when he dress himself as a beggar to be able to investigate how things have changed in his life, since he left it, years before. The two similes present in the passage are: "In rags like a foul beggar" and "Patient as a stone", the first one present the image of Odysseus being battered and the second one demonstrates that he is also unruffled.
