When Odysseus gives Polyphemus his real name, why does this cause trouble?

English
1 answer:
Sindrei [870]3 years ago
5 0

The correct answer is "Polyphemus then told his father Poseidon who had blinded him, and thus Odysseus and his crew suffered dreadfully from Poseidon's curse."

First, Odysseus told Polyphemus that his name was Nobody in order to prevent him from calling for help. This proves helpful when Odysseus blinds him and since he screams "Nobody is killing me" nobody helps him. But after Odysseus manages to blind him and escape, he admitts reveals his true name. This revelation allows Polyphemus to curse him and his father Poseidon sends a storm that wrecks Odysseus ship, and if he is able to arrive to Ithaca, the curse says that it will only be possible after spending years in the sea and losing all his companions.

"<u>There are as mad, abandon'd Criticks too</u>" and "<u>With his own Tongue still edifies his Ears</u>" follow the established rhyme scheme.

What is rhyme scheme?
The arrangement of rhymes at the conclusion of each line in a poem or song is known as a rhyme scheme. Lines identified with the same letter all rhyme with one another, which is the standard method of referencing it.

From Robert Herrick's poem <u>"To Anthea, who may Command him Anything,"</u> the following is an illustration of the ABAB rhyme scheme: Lines with the same letter in their designation rhyme with one another. For example, the first and third lines of a stanza—the "As"—and the second and fourth lines—the "Bs"—rhyme with one another in the rhyme scheme ABAB.
