Answer:

Another theme in Books 9 and 12 is cunning. Ulysses uses his cunning when he tells Polyphemus that his name is Noman. He uses this name to deceive the beast who devoured two of his men:

While thus my fraudful speech I reassume.

'Thy promised boon, O Cyclop! now I claim,

And plead my title; Noman is my name.

His plan works. When the blind Cyclops screams about “no man” killing him, his neighbors leave because they think he is suffering from a disease:

Friends, Noman kills me; Noman in the hour

Of sleep, oppresses me with fraudful power.'

'If no man hurt thee, but the hand divine

Inflict disease, it fits thee to resign:

To Jove or to thy father Neptune pray.'

The brethren cried, and instant strode away.

Then in Book 12, his cunning is seen again when he doesn’t reveal to his men that six of them will perish on their journey home. Ulysses knows that sacrificing six men is the only way to safely pass by Scylla. He also devises a clever way to get past the Sirens. He fills his men’s ears with wax so they can’t hear the Sirens’ song, and he has them tie him to the mast of the ship:

The aerial region now grew warm with day,

The wax dissolved beneath the burning ray;

Then every ear I barr'd against the strain,

And from access of frenzy lock'd the brain.

Now round the masts my mates the fetters roll'd,

And bound me limb by limb with fold on fold.

Then bending to the stroke, the active train

Plunge all at once their oars, and cleave the main.

These are the outlines, directions, or procedures to be followed in order to complete a task.

<u>There are four steps to follow to complete a task in a professional manner.</u>

<u>1. Define the work.</u>

Before starting to work, make a list point by point about the work to be done, and ask your client or boss to confirm it in order to double check and go on insurance.  If you have doubts, always ask.  

<u>2. Create a work schedule.</u>

Creating a work calendar is not only useful to define and fix what is going to be done each day and how much time is allocated to each task until completing the project, but also allows to foresee possible delays and adjust the dates so that there are no problems with the deadlines.  

<u>3. Work in stages.</u>

Any project, no matter what its size, should be divided into small stages, sub-tasks or milestones for the client or your boss to approve each step and you can continue to move forward based on your feedback.  

<u>4. Communicate with the client or your boss permanently.</u>

Communication with the client or your boss should be an obligation throughout the entire project. Although the delivery dates are clear, the tasks to be developed are defined and the stages to deliver results are fixed, you always have to keep communicating with the client or boss and keep up to date with your progress even if the work is done. This generates security and confidence, and it is also likely that they will be more understanding of any mismatch if communication has always been efficient and fluid.  

<u>Having a well-defined work methodology is essential to work with productivity.</u>
