Answer:
Odysseus and his men broke into the Cyclopes home to steal food and goods. The cyclopes did wake up and started to attack and eat Odysseus' men. Odysseus did blind the cyclopes, and tricked him by saying his name is nobody to prevent cyclopes from being able to successfully call for help when Odysseus enacts his escape plan. Odysseus couldn't help but get his credit for doing what he did. He says who he was to the cyclopes. This put him and his men in big danger. This small mistake made Odysseus' trip back home 10 years longer and all his men die.

Answer:
Siegfried Sassoon attempt to provoke angry and compassionate through his poems of the First World War. This provocation brought him public and critical acclaim. Avoiding the sentimentality and jingoism of many war poets, Sassoon wrote of the horror and brutality of trench warfare and contemptuously satirized generals, politicians, and churchmen for their incompetence and blind support of the war. His later poems, often concerned with religious themes, were less appreciated, but the autobiographical trilogy The Complete Memoirs of George Sherston won him two major awards.
In Homer's epic "The Odyssey," Odysseus reflects the values of the culture that memorialize him, such as bravery, intelligence, creativity, etc.
