Xenia was the name of the rule of hospitality that the Ancient Greeks believed in. Not following Xenia meant that you were not being a good citizen.
Odysseus and his companions expect to be treated with hospitality by the cyclops, as they follow the Greek custom of showing kindness to strangers. They hope for food, shelter, and perhaps even guidance on their journey.
Odysseus expects the cyclops Polyphemus to honor the Greek custom of hospitality towards guests, but Polyphemus violates this by eating some of Odysseus' men. Odysseus also expects Polyphemus to follow the custom of giving a guest his name when asked, but Polyphemus deceives Odysseus by calling himself "Nobody."
Odysseus spends time describing how the Cyclops runs his farm to emphasize the contrast between the Cyclops's brutish behavior and the civilized ways of the Greeks. It highlights the Cyclops's ignorance and lack of refinement, further setting him apart as a savage character in the epic.
Odysseus's boldness in the Cyclops' cave sets off a chain of events that significantly impact his journey home. By revealing his identity to Polyphemus after blinding him, Odysseus invokes the wrath of Poseidon, the Cyclops's father, which leads to further obstacles and delays on his voyage. This act of hubris not only exemplifies Odysseus's cleverness but also highlights the consequences of pride, as it results in divine retribution that complicates his return to Ithaca. Ultimately, his initial bravado shapes his fate and the trials he faces in the years that follow.
Odysseus demonstrates cunning intelligence and strategic thinking as he prepares to confront the Cyclops, Polyphemus. Instead of attacking head-on, he devises a clever plan to blind the monster while ensuring his and his men’s escape. His bravery is evident as he confronts a formidable foe, and his leadership qualities shine through as he inspires his crew to follow his lead in a dire situation. Additionally, his resourcefulness in crafting the name "Nobody" to deceive Polyphemus showcases his quick wit and adaptability in the face of danger.
Eurylochus was defiant. He attempted to stop Odysseus men from following him to Circes house but Odysseus men decided to follow him and Eurylochus came with because Odysseus yelled at him.
Do enough damage to the cyclops without killing them and the O button will appear over their heads, run to them and push O and follow the onscreen prompts and kratos will pull the eye out of the cyclops. <insert eye pun here>
