Question

What strengths does odysseus demonstrate in his encounter with the cyclops?

Answer 1

He demonstrates his wits when he tricks the cyclops and his strength with he stabs the cyclops. I don't know if this is part of the question since it is not necessarily a strength but he also shows his pride in the end when he boast about how he defeated the cyclops in the end.

Answer 2

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The strengths that Odysseus demonstrates in his encounter with the cyclops are cunning and intelligence.

When Odysseus encounters the cyclops in book 9 he shows the traits of a great hero that is smart enough and intelligent enough to save his life and his men's life. He demonstrates that he is a true warrior that dares to confront any difficult situation and also uses his cunning outsmart his opponents.
