Page 1: page 2: 'cyclops, you ask my honorable name? remember the gift you promised me, and i shall tell you. my name is nohbdy: mother, father, and friends, everyone calls me nohbdy.' and he said: 'nohbdy's my meat, then, after i eat his friends. others come first. there's a noble gift, now.' –the odyssey, homer 'what ails you, polyphemus? why do you cry so sore in the starry night? you will not let us sleep. sure no man's driving off your flock? no man has tricked you, ruined you? ' out of the cave the mammoth polyphemus roared in 'nohbdy, nohbdy's tricked me, nohbdy's ruined me! ' to this rough shout they made a sage reply: 'ah well, if nobody has played you foul there in your lonely bed, we are no use in pain given by great zeus. let it be your father, poseidon lord, to whom you pray.' –the odyssey, homer read two passages that show a conflict between odysseus and the cyclops. what does this conflict reveal about odysseus? he is scared because he knows that he will be the last to be eaten. he is brave because he sacrifices himself for his friends. he is clever because he makes up a false name for himself and tricks the cyclops. he is lucky because he is able to escape unharmed and still steal the cyclops’s sheep.
