Near the end of book 9, "in the one-eyed giant's cave," odysseus taunts the cyclops and reveals his name, endangering the lives of his men. what does this evidence from the text reveal about odysseus? a. odysseus is arrogant and vain. b. odysseus is calm and composed. c. odysseus is angry and heartless. d. odysseus is sad and regretful.

A.Odysseus is arrogant and vain.

Odysseus' choice to tell the Cyclops his name is so that he can gain recognition as the person who outsmarted and escaped a Cyclops' lair. He has no other reason to tell his name other than for his own pride and recognition. Because he reveals his identity, Poseidon, the Cyclops' father, takes revenge on Odysseus by keeping him from being able to return home to his family. It isn't until Odysseus admits his arrogance and humbles himself to Poseidon that Poseidon allows him to return home.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
