What motivates the cyclops to ask poseidon for the demise of odysseus and all his men?​

English
1 answer:
Mars2501 [29]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

b

Explanation:

This excerpt doesn't give much detail but I'm pretty sure this is Polyphemus speaking. He is a cyclops, and son of Poseidon. When Odysseus and his men were trapped in a cave with the giant man-eating cyclops, they plotted to blind him and escape. So Odysseus got Polyphemus drunk on some kind of wine and waited for him to pass out. Then they got a huge stick or branch, sharpened the end and plunged it into the giant's eye. One can easily surmise that Polyphemus would seek revenge for this, so answer B is definite. Answer A might be an additional factor, as Polyphemus does refer to him in this passage as "raider of cities"--indicating perhaps some disapproval--but the damage to his (only!) eye would be the most important issue, since that is personal.

grin007 [14]

There are three different types of irony. Dramatic irony is when the reader or audience understands something that the characters do not. Situational irony is the difference between what happens and what was expected to happen. Verbal irony is when words express something contrary to the truth or when someone says the opposite of what they feel.

The passage, "May the Gods rain down all kinds of fortune on your lives, misfortune never harbor in your homeland," is from <em>The Odyssey</em>. Odysseus says this prayer after King Alcinous told the nobles to be generous with their gifts. It is ironic because Odysseus is the reasoning for their suffering. It is an example of situational irony because Odysseus is causing their misfortune and saying a prayer that there not be misfortune in their land.

NikAS [45]

The quotation from Christine Guth does a lot by manner of making points.  One thing the quotation from Christine Guth does is support MacGregor’s point about The Great Wave.  It does this with the use of a clever interpretation.  Through interpretation, the wave can be seen as a manner in which travel as well as trade can take place.  Too, Japan can be isolated by this wave according to the interpretation.
