Explanation:

How does Odysseus regard the Cyclops based on the description in lines 56-67 of book 9? What does this description reveal about Odysseus values as well as the values of the ancient Greeks?

Answers

The description of the Cyclops based on the description shows him to be a savage. The description states that the Cyclops is "without a law to bless them". He also says that the Cyclops do not tend to their crops, have no community, and abuse their wife and children. This disgust in the Cyclops ways shows that the values of Odysseus and the ancient Greeks are quiet the opposite of how the Cyclops live. The Greeks, and Odysseus, value hard work as well as justice and community.

Odysseus considers the cyclops a wild creature. This shows that Greek values consider the law, work, and organization as essential for civility.

How is the descent of the Cyclopes?

  • Lawless creatures.
  • Creatures without organization.
  • Violent creatures.
  • Creatures that don't work.

The Cyclopes had characteristics considered by the Greeks to be unsuitable for civilization. These characteristics were the opposite of what was valued by the Greeks as work, peace, laws, and organization.
