What can be inferred about the Cyclops in this excerpt from Homer’s Odyssey? The land of Cyclops first, a savage kind, Nor tamed

by manners, nor by laws confined: Untaught to plant, to turn the glebe, and sow, They all their products to free nature owe: The soil, untill'd, a ready harvest yields, With wheat and barley wave the golden fields; Spontaneous wines from weighty clusters pour, And Jove descends in each prolific shower, By these no statues and no rights are known, No council held, no monarch fills the throne; But high on hills, or airy cliffs, they dwell, Or deep in caves whose entrance leads to hell. Each rules his race, his neighbour not his care, Heedless of others, to his own severe.
a. The Cyclops is warm and hospitable toward his guests.
b. The Cyclops cares for his neighbors’ well-being and advice.
c. The Cyclops does not follow typical rules of the civilized human world.
d. The Cyclops can survive only in the deep, dark caves on the island.

The correct answer is C - the Cyclops does not follow typical rules of the civilized human world. It says here that they have no ruler, that they are very crude and savage, uncivilized.

<span>The answer comes easy in the first couple of lines that are in the excerpt…

“The land of Cyclops first, a savage kind,
Nor tamed by manners, nor by laws confined:
Untaught to plant, to turn the glebe, and sow, [...]”

The words ‘savage,’ ‘nor tamed by manners,’ and ‘nor by laws confined’ all clearly prove that he does not follow rules or laws, and he is not civilized.

This proves that the correct answer is c )  The Cyclops does not follow typical rules of the civilized human world.</span><span>

History: Of whom was it said that if her nose had been shorter the history of the world would have been different?
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

Cleopatra.

Explanation:

The quote "<em>Cleopatra's nose, had it been shorter, the whole face of the world would have been changed</em>" was said by the famous French mathematician Blaise Pascal. It was part of the posthumously edited writings of Pascal in 1669 titled "Pensees/ Thoughts".

According to the belief of ancient times and also the seventeenth century belief, a person's physiognomy plays an important role in determining the character of that person. A large nose, like that of Cleopatra's, signify the dominance and strength of the person. If not for her, then there wouldn't have been the fall of Caesar or Antony, the great men of Rome. This would have stopped them from falling under her spell, thus averting the many wars and conflicts that changed the history of the world.
