Answer:

The answer is explained below.

Explanation:

The Odyssey, by ancient Greek poet Homer, is the second part of The Iliad, and it tells the story of Odysseus trying to come back home after the War of Troy.

In the excerpt, the speaker describes Oddyseus' men using negative words as "mutinous" or "fool," also, he suggests that the actions were caused by not taking good care of their own situation. Rhetorical devices as simile (compare two things) are very important to persuade the reader (shambling like cattle) how difficult the situation was.

From what is indicated in Shelly's poem, do you think Ozymandias was a great leader? What makes a great leader?
hoa [83]

Answer:

As indicated in the poem, one can perceive that Ozymandias was a tyrannical ruler. He ruled out of fear and with a sense of control.

A great leader is the one who leads keeping in mind his/her people and for their good.

Explanation:

"Ozymandias" is a poem written by P. B. Shelley. The poem is about King Ozymandias, who ruled Egypt sometime between 1279-1213 B.C.E.

From the poem by Shelley, one can perceive that Ozymandias was a tyrannical ruler. As written on the pedestal of the statue, <em>"My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings; / Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!",</em> the King appears to be boastful instead of a great ruler. He might have ruled with great achievements but now he standstill in a desert with nothing around him. A great leader is the one who is concerned for his people. One who thinks of their benefit.
