Question

Hey can someone please help me, this a question from the book “The Odyssey” I just need help with question 4 and 5

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

4. After being released from Calypso's island, Odysseus washes up on the shores of Phaecacia where Alcinous is King.

"he may come on the twentieth day to deep-soiled Scheria, the land of the Phaeacians, who are near of kin to the gods"

After Odysseus finally reaches shore, he finds shelter under two bushes and covers himself with leaves. The goddess Athena then casts a spell over him, and he lapses into a deep sleep. When he awakes, he sees the Princess Nausicaa, daughter of King Alcinous, washing her clothes by the stream.

5. What does Odysseus bring with him onto Cyclopes' island?

Odysseus brought goat skin bottle of dark wine that was given to him by Maron, a priest of Apollo.

So, he brought with him A wineskin full of potent wine.

This whine was used to make Polyphemus drunk enough for him to forget to close his rock door.

6. Why does Odysseus and his men stay in the cave after they realize that Polyphemus might harm them?

The door to the cave is blocked by a giant stone.

This stone would be too heavy for Odysseus and the men he still has left with him in the cave to push on their own, and only Polyphemus could push it. This is why they didn't kill Polyphemus, instead, made him really drunk to leave the door open and stab his eye so he can't see.
