English, asked by larryboy2933, 1 year ago

Read the excerpt from Part 2 of The Odyssey by Homer. We would entreat you, great Sir, have a care for the gods' courtesy; Zeus will avenge the unoffending guest.' He answered this from his brute chest, unmoved 'You are a ninny, or else you come from the other end of nowhere, telling me, mind the gods! We Cyclopes care not a whistle for your thundering Zeus or all the gods in bliss; we have more force by far. How does this excerpt prove that Odysseus causes his crew’s demise? by explaining his haphazard travels by describing his loyalty to Zeus by showing his physical weakness by revealing his ignorant assumptions

Odysseus caused his team's demise by uncovering his ignorant suppositions.  

Because of Odysseus' insensible suppositions, he caused his group's end. He thought the cyclops had neighborliness rather he was antagonistic. Presently on account of him, his group and him are stuck there.  

The theme of this can be "It is wise to know the foe you confront."

Answer:

Explanation:

Explanation:  By revealing his ignorant assumptions excerpt proved that Odysseus causes his crews demise. Odysseus feels that he has the right to hospitality from the Cyclops because that is something that his culture values. However, the Cyclopes do not live by these rules. When Odysseus puts out the Cyclops’ eye and takes his things, he offends the Cyclops. This in turn causes the Cyclops to ask his father, Poseidon, a god, to help him avenge the wrongs of Odysseus. One of the consequences for Odysseus is the demise of his crew. If Odysseus hadn’t been so arrogant, his crew would still be alive.

By revealing his ignorant assumptions. Explanation: “The Odyssey” is one of the greatest works of literature in history, and it was written during Ancient Greece, by Homer. It is one of the most important literary works in Western history and one of the oldes too. In this particular excerpt from part 2 of “The Odyssey”, Odysseus keeps on digging against the  Cyclopes and uses threats against the being believing that the creature has the same beliefs and fears as he does. He blatantly ignores the fact that this Cyclopes does not care about the gods that he fears so much, and therefore, threatening, or entreating him, with the goodwill, or ill will of them, is useless and only angers the creature more. In the end, this ignorance proves fatal. By revealing his ignorant assumptions During the act, Odysseus was Consumed by his pride and arrogance, which make him believe that he could take on all the Gods even before seeing what they are capable of. This ignorant assumptions eventually make his crews had to face a foe with larger force that they could handle, leading to their demise.
