Answer:

It is wise to know the enemy you face

Explanation:

According to the excerpt, Odyssey and his crew made an ignorant assumption that the Cyclops should honor their guests.

Little did King Odysseus realize that he had an entirely way of thinking and culture from the Cyclops. He tells Polyphemus, a Cyclop that he entreats him to <u>"have a care for the gods' courtesy.</u>.." and that <u>"Zeus will avenge the unoffending guest".</u>

Polyphemus replies that he <u>"care not a whistle for your thundering Zeus"</u> because the Cyclops had no regards for the gods as they believed themselves more powerful.

The theme of the conflict is that It is wise to know the enemy you face.

What does the cat in "Once Upon a Time" symbolize?
Ad libitum [116K]
<span>The cat represents danger or ill omens. Since the 14th century, there has been a symbolic association with black cats and the Devil. Occasionally, it was believed that agents of the Devil, particularly demons and witches took the shape of these animals and, lacking a soul, appeared black. The presence of these animals have remained as symbols of misfortune or impending danger throughout modern works as well.</span>
