Odysseus' decision to stay at Polyphemus' cave proves disastrous. When the Cyclops returns, he kills several of Odysseus' men and eats them. Odysseus manages to escape, but his blinding of Polyphemus, who was a son of Poseidon, has terrible consequences. When Odysseus finally reveals his true identity to Polyphemus, the monster prays to his father for vengeance. This prayer brings about Poseidon's persecution of Odysseus and in Odysseus' return from Troy being significantly delayed.

What confuses polyphemus about the last ram?
Polyphemus is confused by the last ram because, unlike the other sheep, it does not follow the usual behavior of grazing and bleating. Instead, it lags behind, and Polyphemus notices that it carries Odysseus hidden underneath its wool. This peculiar behavior raises suspicion for the cyclops, making him question why this particular ram is acting differently from the rest. Ultimately, Polyphemus fails to realize that the ram is aiding Odysseus in his escape.
Why is Penelope angry at telemachus?
Penelope is angry at Telemachus because she feels he is not taking her concerns seriously and is acting independently without considering her feelings. She is upset with his decision to seek information about his father, Odysseus, which she believes could lead to further trouble. Additionally, she may feel a sense of betrayal, as she wants to protect her household and maintain hope for Odysseus's return. Her anger is rooted in a combination of worry, frustration, and the pressures of their challenging situation.
Why did Poseidon speak on Ares' behalf in Book 8 of Odyssey?
Poseidon is the one who's so relentless in his persecution of Odysseus for Odysseus' blinding of Polyphemus _ not that bad an act since Odysseus was acting in self-defense and only wounded Polyphemus. Now Hephaistos has been wronged, but when it's not Poseidon own son's honor (and thus his own honor) in question, he becomes the voice of reason, all for brokering a deal. Ironic. The other noteworthy relationship between Poseidon and Ares that I can think of (especially relevant for an Athenian audience) is that there's a story Ares once killed a son of Poseidon's who had raped/tried to rape an Athenian girl. The gods formed a court and Ares was acquitted of murder at the spot known as Areopagus (where Athens' murder court was established). But surely it's ironic Poseidon stands up for someone known to have killed one of his sons. Hephaistos is an analogue of Odysseus, not to mention Penelope, with his cunning woven contrivance. But rather than killing the 'suitor' who is taking his wife, he's content to humiliate him. That's inevitable because: what else are you going to do with an *immortal* adulterer, kill him? But you could reverse this and see Hephistos here as acting like Poseidon. Poseidon wants to kill Odysseus, but is forbidden to do so by his big brother Zeus, the ultimate arbiter. So instead he makes Odysseus suffer.
Why was Odysseus considered first modern hero?
Prior to The "Odyssey" heroes were not known for their intelligence but for their warrior prowess. Odysseus is one of the first Greek mythic heroes renowned for his brain as well as his muscle. He is a man with an inquiring mind, and he is also a man with outstanding prowess and bravery. He is a top-notch athlete which only adds more to this seemingly insuperable character. It is no wonder why many scholars refer to Odysseus as a powerful mythic hero. Odysseus often hesitates before acting, because he uses his reason and gift to evaluate things. This patience is one of his most important additional attributes. This has saved him and his men many of times, and it can be easily seen in various instances throughout his travels such as when he disguised himself as a beggar when he finally reached Ithaca, waiting for the right moment to reveal himself.
