NEED ASAP In Book 9 of the Odyssey, Ulysses saves himself and his men by blinding Polyphemus. Which lines reflect the Cyclops's

disappointment at being defeated by guile and not by strength?
Oh heavens! oh faith of ancient prophecies!
This, Telemus Eurymedes foretold
(The mighty seer who on these hills grew old;
Skill'd the dark fates of mortals to declare,
And learn'd in all wing'd omens of the air);

Long since he menaced, such was Fate's command;
And named Ulysses as the destined hand.
I deem'd some godlike giant to behold,
Or lofty hero, haughty, brave, and bold;
Not this weak pigmy wretch, of mean design,
Who, not by strength subdued me, but by wine.
But come, accept our gifts, and join to pray
Great Neptune's blessing on the watery way;
For his I am, and I the lineage own;
The immortal father no less boasts the son.

The answer is the line "Who, not by strength subdued me, but by wine."

In the excerpt, "wine" means the idea of conversation, wit and charm. Odysseus beat him by talking and having conversation with him but in the end he tricked him.

In the context of the Declaration of Independence, what does the author mean by “candid world”?
malfutka [58]

When the author utilizes the phrase "candid world" his intention is to establish a few specific attributes to the targeted audience, which is the rest of the world. Given the context in which the phrase is used, it's clear that he chooses the word "candid" to infer sincerity and honesty to this intended audience. By characterizing the receptors of the message in this way, the author is appealing to the audience's sense of morality. In the end, <u>this rhetorical device persuades the audience into regarding the contents of the message as honest and sincere facts. </u>

In summary, the author appeals to a "candid world" to make the audience also expect a sincere and honest message by persuading them into perceiving it in such a way.

Hope this helps!
