Which of the following flaws belongs to the character of Odysseus?
A) arrogance, because he feels superior to his men*****
B) ungratefulness, because he disregards his men's sacrifice

What gets Odysseus into trouble is when his pride shades into arrogance. Because Odysseus just had to get the glory of besting the monster, he ended up wandering the sea for seventeen years and losing all of his companions to an untimely death. It definitely isn't C, because that isnt why he lies to the Cyclops about his identity. B doesnt seem true because mainly he is just arrogant, less ungrateful. D seems wrong too
Oh Odysseus, what a character! He's got some flaws, that's for sure. And one of them is definitely his arrogance. The guy just thinks he's better than his own men! So the answer is A) arrogance, because he feels superior to his men.
Now, let's talk about the Cyclops. This big guy clearly has no fear of Zeus, and how does he show it? Well, he's not interested in knowing where Odysseus' ship is, he's just chowing down on some poor men. So the answer is B) asking where Odysseus' ship is. I guess he's got a big appetite and no time for Zeus!
Hope that brought a smile to your face!
To determine which flaw belongs to the character of Odysseus, we need to analyze the choices provided.
A) Arrogance, because he feels superior to his men - This choice correctly identifies a flaw in Odysseus' character. Throughout the epic, Odysseus demonstrates a sense of superiority and often places himself above his men.
B) Ungratefulness, because he disregards his men's sacrifice - This choice is not a flaw specific to Odysseus but rather one that could apply to any leader who does not appreciate the sacrifices of their subordinates. It is not directly depicted in the character of Odysseus.
C) Cowardice because he lies to the Cyclops about his identity - While Odysseus does indeed lie to the Cyclops about his identity, this action is attributed to his resourcefulness and cunning rather than cowardice.
D) Recklessness, because he can't help venturing into the Cyclops' cave - This choice correctly identifies a flaw in Odysseus' character. Despite warnings from his crew, Odysseus cannot resist the temptation to explore the Cyclops' cave, putting both himself and his men in danger.
Therefore, the flaw that belongs to the character of Odysseus is arrogance, as stated in option A.
Moving on to the second question:
To determine which action of the Cyclops shows that he has no fear of Zeus, we need to examine the choices provided.
A) Calling Odysseus a ninny - This action does not depict the Cyclops' fearlessness towards Zeus and is not directly related to the question.
B) Asking where Odysseus' ship is - This action correctly shows that the Cyclops is not afraid of Zeus. By asking about the whereabouts of Odysseus' ship, the Cyclops demonstrates a lack of concern for Zeus's potential wrath or retribution.
C) Invoking the name of Poseidon - This action does not directly relate to the question. Although invoking the name of Poseidon showcases the Cyclops' allegiance to the god, it does not necessarily indicate his fearlessness towards Zeus.
D) Eating six of Odysseus's men - This action is not a direct indicator of fearlessness towards Zeus, but rather displays the Cyclops' strength and viciousness.
Therefore, the action that shows the Cyclops' lack of fear towards Zeus is B) asking where Odysseus' ship is.
I disagree with A mostly because he cared greatly for his men. If you didn't pick that up from your reading, please re-read.
1. incorrect
2. Could be, but I think there's a better answer.
I don't know how you could miss the first one -- well, unless you're guessing at these without having read the work. Have you read it? REALLY read it?
