Question

Which of these flaws does Ulysses reveal while leaving the island after blinding the Cyclops? a need for comfort a need for companionship a desire for glory a desire for riches

Answer 1

A desire for glory and riches. Ulysses only had to blind the Cyclops because he was being rude and stole all of their cheese and expected the monsters to shower him with riches. I dunno about you, but if I was that Cyclops I would have been pretty mad too, no wonder they tried to eat him! Long story short, Ulysses was mean. 

Answer 2

Answer:

The best answer from the options to the question: Which of these flaws does Ulysses reveal while leaving the island after blinding the Cyclops, would be: A desire for glory.

Explanation:

In the "Odyssey" by Homer, when Odysseus and his crew are finally able to escape the cyclops Polyphemus, instead of Odysseus simply counting his blessing for having escaped danger with his life, and that of his crewmembers, being content with the feat of having blinded such a terrifying and savage being as a cyclops, he also decides to insult him, despite the pleas from his men, and the only thing he feels remorse for is that the cyclops did not know his name, the name of the person who had accomplished something so huge. He used trickery, and artifices to best the cyclops, but Odysseus reveals his terrible pride, and desire for glory, when he feels sorry that such a giant will not know Odysseu´s name.
