Explanation:

Homer's "The Odyssey" narrates the story of the great hero Odyssey and his journey after the Battle of Troy. His journey took more than ten years, during which he encountered many obstacles and encounters with gods and demi- gods.

In Book IX, Odysseus and his men had came upon the cave of a Cyclops, Polyphemus. As was customary in those times, any host have to extend hospitality to travelers, known or unknown. And when they set out, he should give them gifts, as much as he can manage. But this code of civilized behavior is not followed by the Cyclops, who instead expressed contempt for any of the gods. He also took two of Odysseus's men, dashed their heads with their brains spread everywhere, and ate them.

as the maasai legends tell, "in the beginning of the world, enkai was the only god: the guardian of rain, fertility, sun, and love. with that love, enkai birthed three sons." solución
