Read the excerpt from The Odyssey.

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

iflam thine indeed, and thou art father.

grant that Odysseus, raider of cities, never

see his home: Laertes' son, I mean,

who kept his hail on Ithaca. Should destiny

intend that he shall see his roof again

among his family in his father land,

far be that day, and dark the years between

Let him lose all companions, and return

under strange sail to bitter days at home.'

What motivates the Cyclops to ask Poseidon for the

demise of Odysseus and all his men? Check all that apply.

He hates all the Greeks because they destroyed Troy.

He wants revenge for the loss of his eye.

He thinks all of mankind is weak and feeble.

He is angered by Odysseus's taunts.
