Question

read the excerpt from the odyssey. o hear me, lord, blue girdler of the islands, if i am thine indeed, and thou art father: grant that odysseus, raider of cities, never see his home: laertes son, i mean, who kept his hall on ithaca. should destiny intend that he shall see his roof again among his family in his father land, far be that day, and dark the years between. let him lose all companions, and return under strange sail to bitter days at home. what motivates the cyclops to ask poseidon for the demise of odysseus and all his men? select two options. he hates all the greeks because they destroyed troy. he wants revenge for the loss of his eye. he thinks all of mankind is weak and feeble. he is angered by odysseuss taunts.

Explanation:

In the excerpt from The Odyssey, the Cyclops wants revenge for being blinded (loss of his eye) and is angered by Odysseus' taunts as he leaves. His hatred for all Greeks due to Troy is not the main motivation here, and his view of mankind's weakness is not the reason for this specific curse - asking Poseidon for Odysseus' demise.

Answer:

He wants revenge for the loss of his eye.
He is angered by Odysseus's taunts.
