Odysseus's encounter with the cyclops Polyphemus in Homer's "The Odyssey" showcases the Greeks' cleverness and resourcefulness in overcoming obstacles. By devising a plan to blind the cyclops and escape his cave, Odysseus demonstrates the Greek value of intelligence and strategic thinking. This episode also highlights the Greeks' belief in the importance of individual heroism and bravery in the face of danger. Overall, the encounter with the cyclops symbolizes the Greek ideal of using wit and courage to navigate challenges and achieve success.
Greek hospitality was very different from America today. The Greeks were open to strangers and it was custom to give gifts to any guests. They were this kind because they thought that a god might come down from Olympius to see how the people were doing.
Ancient Greeks believed they must show 'xenia' in order not to dis-please the gods, therefore people treated strangers very well, with food, water and general hospitality. Polythemus and the other cyclops' were much unlike other greek beings as they were not god-fearing, therefore not caring about showing xenia to Odysseus and his men. Obviously Odysseus did not kow this and presumed they would have a warm reception.
