But this, but you – small, pitiful and twiggy –

you put me down with wine, you blinded me.

come back, odysseus, and i'll treat you well,

praying the god of earthquake to befriend you –

his son i am, for he by his avowal

fathered me, and, if he will, he may

heal me of this black wound – he and no other

of all the happy gods or mortal men.'

few words i shouted in reply to him:

'if i could take your life i would and take

your time away, and hurl you down to hell!

the god of earthquake could not heal you there! '

at this he stretched his hands out in his darkness

toward the sky of stars, and prayed poseidon:

'o hear me, lord, blue girdler of the islands,

if i am thine indeed, and thou art father:

grant that odysseus, raider of cities, never

see his home

-the odyssey,
homer

what motivates cyclops to ask poseidon to interfere with odysseus’s journey home?

Read the passage below and answer the question that follows. ‘you make me feel uncivilized, daisy,’ i confessed on my second glass of corky but rather impressive claret. ‘can’t you talk about crops or something? ’ i meant nothing in particular by this remark but it was taken up in an unexpected way. ‘civilization’s going to pieces,’ broke out tom violently. ‘i’ve gotten to be a terrible pessimist about things. have you read ‘the rise of the coloured empires’ by this man goddard? ’ ‘why, no,’ i answered, rather surprised by his tone. ‘well, it’s a fine book, and everybody ought to read it. the idea is if we don’t look out the white race will be—will be utterly submerged. it’s all scientific stuff; it’s been proved.’ in this passage, tom’s ideas about race relations come off as uncivilized. what literary device is fitzgerald using here?
