After the Troy fire, Odysseus decides to return to his home on the Ithaca Peninsula by sea.

But the gods did not favor him so that his journey was hindered by numerous accidents and, after storms, whirlwinds and shipwrecks, after many years of travel he sailed with a small group of his comrades to the shores of Sicily, quite a distance from his homeland.

Tired of the long days spent in the waves, Odysseus was happy to see a cave and head straight for it.

Explanation:

  • When they arrived in the land of Cyclops, Odysseus became very alert. Before entering their cave, he checked to see if he had any jugs of wine with him.
  • When Polyphemus, the owner of the area, appeared, threatening to devour all the intruders, Odysseus offered him wine as a pledge of friendship.
  • Polyphemus promised him the last to eat him. But when the host asked him for his name, Odysseus answered that his name was Nobody.
  • Soon Cyclops got drunk and didn't know what he was doing anymore. Odysseus seized the opportunity to stick a stake in his only eye and fled. The other Cyclops who came to the aid of their comrade died laughing when they heard that Nobody had attacked him.

Andreas93 [3]

There are three main reasons for European Exploration. Them being for the sake of their economy, religion and glory. They wanted to improve their economy for instance by acquiring more spices, gold, and better and faster trading routes. Also, they really believed in the need to spread their religion, Christianity.

The four explorers, Francisco Coronado, Robert LaSalle, Samuel de Champlain, and John Cabot, represent the three major European nations that decidedly settled in what is now the United States.

Some basic effects of Europeans coming to North America are that the Native Americans caught new diseases which included smallpox, influenza, measles, and chicken pox. Explorers used superior fire power, like single shot muskets, to conquer natives.

Reasons for European Exploration. England. Send keyboard focus to media. Although, they all wanted to find the Northwest Passage the English were motivated by a desire to colonize as much of the Americas as possible. Portugal. Send keyboard focus to media. Portugal's geographical position helped to shape its course.

In the South, Martin Luther King, Jr. dealt with issues of racial discrimination, forced segregation by the police, and legal issues like the abolition of the Jim Crow laws. In the North, he had to deal with economic issues. Poor people were everywhere in the cities and they had no chance of improving their lives. The schools for the poor had low standards and did not provide the good training needed for the chance of finding better jobs. Many of the whites were vying with the blacks for the same kind of jobs.
