The Odyssey: Conflict and Theme, Part 4

Question 4 • AZ-English Language Arts 9 A-CR

Read two passages that show a conflict between Odysseus and the Cyclops. What does this conflict reveal about Odysseus?

Answer
A
He is scared because he knows that he will be the last to be eaten.
B
He is brave because he sacrifices himself for his friends.
C
He is clever because he makes up a false name for himself and tricks the Cyclops.
D
He is lucky because he is able to escape unharmed and still steal the Cyclops’s sheep.

Explanation

Odysseus tells the Cyclops that his name is “Nobody,” then uses that false name to confuse the Cyclops when he calls for help. This trick helps Odysseus and his men escape, revealing that he is clever. The passage does not show him sacrificing himself or escaping entirely unharmed.
