Besides lack of self-restraint and overindulgence, what is one of the other themes that you noticed in books 9 and 12 of the odyssey? how is the theme reflected in the text? use evidence from the text to support your answer.

Another theme in Books 9 and 12 is cunning. Ulysses uses his cunning when he tells Polyphemus that his name is Noman. He uses this name to deceive the beast who devoured two of his men:

While thus my fraudful speech I reassume.

'Thy promised boon, O Cyclop! now I claim,

And plead my title; Noman is my name.

His plan works. When the blind Cyclops screams about “no man” killing him, his neighbors leave because they think he is suffering from a disease:

Friends, Noman kills me; Noman in the hour

Of sleep, oppresses me with fraudful power.'

'If no man hurt thee, but the hand divine

Inflict disease, it fits thee to resign:

To Jove or to thy father Neptune pray.'

The brethren cried, and instant strode away.

Then in Book 12, his cunning is seen again when he doesn’t reveal to his men that six of them will perish on their journey home. Ulysses knows that sacrificing six men is the only way to safely pass by Scylla. He also devises a clever way to get past the Sirens. He fills his men’s ears with wax so they can’t hear the Sirens’ song, and he has them tie him to the mast of the ship:

The aerial region now grew warm with day,

The wax dissolved beneath the burning ray;

Then every ear I barr'd against the strain,

And from access of frenzy lock'd the brain.

Now round the masts my mates the fetters roll'd,

And bound me limb by limb with fold on fold.

Then bending to the stroke, the active train

Plunge all at once their oars, and cleave the main.

Explanation: got this from my teacher just copy it

it will show up when more than one person gives an answer

for this case, we must find the number of deaths per day of the year 2015, in automobile accidents, knowing that 32,400 people died.

knowing that the year 2015 had 365 days we have the following division:

where "x" represents the number of deaths per day.

rounding off we have:

approximately, 89 people per day died in 2015

answer:

89 people per day
