What is the comparison and contrast of Odysseus and Polyphemus the cyclops?

English
1 answer:
AlexFokin [52]2 years ago
6 0
Both Odysseus and Polyphemus are, in a way, selfish and reckless characters. Whereas Polyphemus is a one-eyed man-eating beast, Odysseus doesn't hesitate to sacrifice the lives of other people when it suits his interests. Also, Odysseus presents himself to Polyphemus as "Nobody", which is a symbolic act of dehumanizing himself, bringing himself in line with the Cyclope.

As for contrast, it is more obvious. Odysseus represents the power of human intelligence and ingenuity, while Polyphemus is almost a caricature, a grotesque one-eyed being whose only advantage is the enormous strength and the fact that his father is Poseidon.

Another bouquet of flowers from my loving husband. It is correct grammar?

I say no and yes... No because bouquet is already known flowers and if you going to use the word bouquet it has to be something other than flowers. For example a pie has a faint bouquet of almonds so yeah and yea because it doesn't sound wrong
