Read the excerpt from The Odyssey. ‘Why not take these cheeses, get them stowed, come back, throw open all the pens, and make a run for it? We'll drive the kids and lambs aboard. We say put out again on good salt water!' Ah, how sound that was! Yet I refused. I wished to see the caveman, what he had to offer— no pretty sight, it turned out, for my friends. Based on this excerpt, what inference can be made about Odysseus? Check all that apply. Odysseus is a careless leader who does not care about the safety of his crew. Odysseus’s curiosity about the Cyclops is stronger than his good judgment. Odysseus wants to see if the Cyclops has anything to give to him and his men. Odysseus is worried about appearing weak in front of his men.

Odysseus's curiosity about the Cyclops is stronger than his good judgment.
Odysseus wants to see if the Cyclops has anything to give to him and his men.
The Cyclopes are giant and huge creatures who were blessed by the Gods for food for their living. They don't want any visitors to come to their place. The other men made a plan to steal things from the cavemen but Odysseus wanted to stay there and check them. This reflects on the idea that he was brave and daring.
