Odysseus must have thought about killing Polyphemus but rejected the idea for at least one reason. The main reason would have been that it was nearly impossible to murder the giant because they had no adequate means of doing it. If they had tried to stab Polyphemus with a sharpened stake, they might have only wounded him.

Hey there!

Odysseus does not stab Polyphemus, the Cyclops, because if he does, he will be trapped in the cave along with some of his men. A boulder is blocking the cave exit, and the Cyclops is the only thing strong enough to move it.

I hope this helps!

Which event led to the arrest and imprisonment of many National Women’s Party activists?
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

Repeatedly picketing the White House

Explanation:

Despite the fact that the American President then Woodrow Wilson, a Democrat, championed democracy in the world during the wartime, the disenfranchizement of women in America was seen by the National Woman's Party as hypocrisy on his part. Therefore, the group started picketing the White House from between January 10, 1917 until June 1919. These protest group known as the Silent Sentinels were tolerated at first, but were subsequently arrested by police for obstructing traffic when they continued their picketing after the United States declared war in 1917.
