Explanation:

When it comes to Greek mythology, "Neptune" is considered the "God of the Freshwater and the Sea" while "Ulysses" is also known as "Odysseus," the King of Ithaca. Their relationship is shown in Homer's Odyssey.

The actions of Neptune were used in order to develop the theme of the text. In this case, it was used to show how Neptune caused trouble for Ulysses. The trouble started when Ulysses blinded Polyphemus who was a son of Neptune. This angered Neptune and hence, the conflict between them started. Such kind of interaction was deemed impossible because Neptune was a god and Ulysses was a human. The conflict prevented Ulysses from settling down with his family because he got lost when he was about to go home after the Trojan War. Even after many years, Neptune was still angry at Ulysses.
