What is the curse of the cyclops in The Odyssey?
The cyclops said that Odysseus will never reach his home land in Ithaca. ======================================================= Odysseus, the greek hero, according to Homer's epic poem, tried to return home with his men, after the fall of Troy. Their journey to Ithaca was full of adventures and lasted for ten years. At one stage they were captured by cyclops, a group of one-eyed, man-eater giants. They escaped by deceiving and blinding one of them, Polyphemus, the son of Poseidon, the sea god. Polyphemus cursed Odysseus and his men by imploring his father that they could never reach their home land, nor see their own home and friends again. But, if they still do, than "...let him come late, in evil plight, with all his comrades dead, in someone else's ship, and find troubles in his household." More info could be find on http://wikipedia.org.wiki/Greek_mythology http://wikipedia.org.wiki/Odyssey and on the Greek Mithology Link. Hope it helps a bit.
What Led to the conflict of the Orders?
Patricians were allowed to stand for election to political office, but over time these laws were revoked, and eventually all offices were opened to the Plebeians. Since most individuals who were elected to political office were given membership in the Roman Senate, this development helped to transform the senate from a body of Patricians into a body of Plebeian and Patrician aristocrats. This development occurred at the same time that the Plebeian legislative assembly, the Plebeian Council, was acquiring additional power. At first, its acts ("plebiscites") applied only to Plebeians, although after 449 BC, these acts began to apply to both Plebeians and Patricians. It wasn't until 287 BC, however, that the Patrician senators lost their last check over the Plebeian Council. However, the Patricio-Plebeian aristocracy in the senate still retained other means by which to control the Plebeian Council, in particular the closeness between the Plebeian Tribunes and the senators. While this conflict would end in 287 BC with the Plebeians having acquired political equality with the Patricians, the plight of the average Plebeian had not changed. A small number of aristocratic Plebeian families had emerged, and most Plebeian politicians came from one of these families. answer from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conflict_of_the_Orders Patricians were allowed to stand for election to political office, but over time these laws were revoked, and eventually all offices were opened to the Plebeians.

How did Sulla turn what he had learned from Marius against him?
What Sulla learned from Gaius Marius were military skills. Sulla served under Marius' generalship during his early military career. Sulla later turned against Marius and fought a civil war (Sulla's first civil war, 88-87 BC) against him and one (Sulla's second civil war, 82-81 BC) against Marius' supporters after Marius' death. Sulla was victorious partly due to loyalty of his legions and partly because he was a great general. Sulla's conflicts with Marius were due partly to personal rivalry and partly to political differences. In 88 BC Sulla was given the command for the First Mithridatic War, but Marius fancied commanding the troops in this war and plotted to have this command transferred to himself. Sulla marched on Rome with his troops, secured his command and left for the front of the war. Sulla belonged to the optimates, a conservative political faction which supported tradition and the interests of the aristocracy. Marius belonged to the populares, a political faction which supported reform in favour of the plight of the poor and opposed the optimantes. Marius used the support of the Populares to plot against Sulla and pursued policies which Sulla strongly opposed.
What suggests he saw the plight of slaves in an old testament context?
One could suggest that the story of Exodus, where God delivers the Israelites from slavery in Egypt, shows empathy towards the plight of slaves in an Old Testament context. Additionally, passages in the Old Testament that emphasize compassion towards the oppressed and marginalized, as well as laws surrounding the ethical treatment of slaves, indicate an awareness of their hardships.
