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

ment 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.

"Who, not by strength subdued me, but by wine."

In this context, "wine" means the idea of charm wit and conversation. Odysseus beat him by conversing with him and then eventually tricking him.

How do i explain motivate friends and family by donating money to the charity?
Masteriza [31]

<u>Answer:</u>

Motivating friends and family by donating money to the charity is a unique way of encouraging others to do something good and value to one’s life. We don't live in an ideal world, and there will never be a perfect time to give — but there will always be those who need help out there.

People need to know that their donations are making an impact when it comes to charitable donations. Make contributors felt delighted or enhanced. Feelings of wonder — the sensation of being in the midst of something immense which transcends one's world-wide comprehension — can also enhance kindness.

Make some people feel their emotions instead of repressing them. Teaching people to be more in touch with their feelings could result in increased generosity.

When your children see that you donate money, they are far more likely to embrace an attitude of giving as they grow. Once you let your loved ones know about your contributions, they might be more concerned about making their own initiatives to give.

It's a very powerful and measurable result of your own giving to induce passion in the people around you. At last, be an example. The world will follow you not based on your words but on your actions.
