Mark each of the following statements if it expresses a value from the story of Odysseus and the Cyclops. A. Odysseus expected t
he Cyclops to give them provisions because strangers were supposed to be treated kindly and given gifts. B. The Cyclops invited Odysseus into the cave because he wanted to share the warmth of his fire with his guests. C. Odysseus went to the island of the Cyclops because he wanted his men to prove their bravery.
None of these options are true. While going back to his home, Odysseus stopped on an island to look for supplies. Here, he and his men went into a cave and found plenty of food, so they ate it. Suddenly, the Cyclops entered into the cave and lock them in. The Cyclops ate some men and drank wine until he got drunk and passed out. While he was sleeping Odysseus stabbed his eye and left him blind and thanks to Odysseus audacity and intelligence they could escape.
Thus, option A is not true, neither is B nor C (because Odysseus didn't know the Cyclops lived there).
