Answer:
C. 3
Explanation:
Spanish explorer and conquistador Vasco Núñez de Balboa was the first European explorer to see the eastern shores of the Pacific Ocean. In 1511, he was made captain general and interim governor of Darién, the first Spanish settlement in Panama, by king Ferdinand II. The Spanish got news about a fabulously rich Indian kingdom with much gold to the south (probably the Inca empire), a story that encouraged Spanish greed. In 1513, without waiting for reinforcements, Núñez de Balboa headed 190 Spanish soldiers and numerous Indian porters and set to explore southwards, crossing dense jungles, swamps and mountains. There he saw the shores of the Pacific. As a reward for his discovery of the Mar del Sur (Southern Sea, the Pacific), the king appointed him Adelantado (envoy).
After the Troy fire, Odysseus decides to return to his home on the Ithaca Peninsula by sea.
But the gods did not favor him so that his journey was hindered by numerous accidents and, after storms, whirlwinds and shipwrecks, after many years of travel he sailed with a small group of his comrades to the shores of Sicily, quite a distance from his homeland.
Tired of the long days spent in the waves, Odysseus was happy to see a cave and head straight for it.
Explanation:
- When they arrived in the land of Cyclops, Odysseus became very alert. Before entering their cave, he checked to see if he had any jugs of wine with him.
- When Polyphemus, the owner of the area, appeared, threatening to devour all the intruders, Odysseus offered him wine as a pledge of friendship.
- Polyphemus promised him the last to eat him. But when the host asked him for his name, Odysseus answered that his name was Nobody.
- Soon Cyclops got drunk and didn't know what he was doing anymore. Odysseus seized the opportunity to stick a stake in his only eye and fled. The other Cyclops who came to the aid of their comrade died laughing when they heard that Nobody had attacked him.
