What do you think of Odysseus's decision to taunt the Cyclops from his ship?
I thought this was a stupid decision. Odysseus knew what the cyclops could do to him. He also knew that he had really ticked off the cyclops. By taunting him from his ship, he just made him more upset and almost killed his crew, as well as himself. Also by doing this, he got himself cursed by Posiden. I hope this helped!

What does the cyclops ask Poseidon to do to Odysseus in the Odyssey?
In Homer's Odyssey, the cyclops Polyphemus asks Poseidon, his father, to curse Odysseus so that he may never reach his home on Ithaca, or if he does, that he may face great hardships on his journey. This request sets in motion a series of challenges and obstacles that Odysseus must overcome on his voyage back home.
