HW Mr. Padilla 7.14.17

Homework: Dear parents/ guardians, please assist your child with today’s homework. 

Option 3: Collections:  the cyclops

We beached there, and I told the crew

to stand by and keep watch over the ship;

as for myself I took my twelve best fighters

and went ahead. I had a goatskin full

of that sweet liquor that Euanthes  son,

Maron, had given me. ..

and then this liquor  twelve two-handled jars

of brandy, pure and fiery…

No man turned away

when cups of this came round.

but still the sweet scent hovered like a fume…

We climbed, then, briskly to the cave. But Cyclops

had gone afield, to pasture his fat sheep,

so we looked round at everything inside:

a drying rack that sagged with cheeses, pens

crowded with lambs and kids, each in its class:

firstlings apart from middlings, and the  dewdrops,

or newborn lambkins, penned apart from both.

And vessels full of whey were brimming there

bowls of earthenware and pails for milking.

1.      Why do you think Odysseus spit his men into 2 groups? What were the groups?

2.      Odysseus and his men do not have much food left but they have liquor: Why do you think they are carrying all this liquor?

3.      Odysseus and his men enter a Cyclop’s cave uninvited: Make a prediction: What might happen if a Cylop returns to his cave and catches them there?
