In book 9 of the odyssey, ulysses saves himself and his men by blinding polyphemus. which lines reflect the cyclops's disappointment at being defeated by guile and not by strength?
oh heavens! oh faith of ancient prophecies!
this, telemus eurymedes foretold
(the mighty seer who on these hills grew old;
skill'd the dark fates of mortals to declare,
and learn'd in all wing'd omens of the air);

long since he menaced, such was fate's command;
and named ulysses as the destined hand.
i deem'd some godlike giant to behold,
or lofty hero, haughty, brave, and bold;
not this weak pigmy wretch, of mean design,
who, not by strength subdued me, but by wine.

When i was young enough to still spend a long time buttoning my shoes in the morning, i'd listen toward the hall: daddy upstairs was shaving, in the bathroom, and mother downstairs was frying the bacon. they would begin whispering back and forth to each other up and down the stairwell. my father would whistle his phrase, my mother would try to whistle, then hum hers backi drew my buttonhook in and out and listened to it -know it was "the merry widow." the difference was, their song almost floated with laughter. how different from the record, which growled from the beginning, as if the victrola were only slowly being wound up. they kept it running between them, up and down the stairs where i was now just about ready to run clattering down and show them my shoes. what is the effect of the parallelism used in the above excerpt? it establishes the rhythm of a duet to echo the song. it expresses the same ideas. it mirrors opposite ideas. it is a paradox.
