 Solution

For $c=1$, the even equilibria are stable foci with eigenvalues $(-1\pm i\sqrt{3})/2$, and the odd equilibria are saddle equilibria with eigenvalues $r_{\pm }=(-1\pm \sqrt{5})/2$. The local saddle directions are $y=r_{\pm }[x-(2j+1)\pi ]$.

The phase portrait shows clockwise spiraling into each even equilibrium: on its right-hand horizontal axis, the flow initially points down. The stable separatrices of the saddles divide attraction basins on the unwrapped angle axis, while the unstable branches flow into neighboring sinks. Initial conditions with enough mechanical energy can cross one or more potential crests before being captured. The curves repeat under $x\mapsto x+2\pi$. They are trajectories, not conservative energy contours: energy dissipation of a damped pendulum rules out nonconstant periodic orbits.
