Question

what obstacles has odysseus faced so far on his road of trials? check all that apply. lord helios, the sun god, has killed odysseus’s men for eating his cattle. his boat has crashed, and the crew is shipwrecked on the isle of man. the crew has been attacked by an army at cicones. zeus has sent a huge sea storm. some of the men have eaten the lotus flower and had to be rescued.

Explanation:

These are key obstacles Odysseus encounters in the early/middle stages of his journey in The Odyssey:

1. After raiding the Ciconians, their army attacks Odysseus's crew, killing many men.
2. Zeus sends a massive storm (after Odysseus's men eat Helios's cattle, and also earlier after the Ciconian raid) that wrecks his ships.
3. On the Lotus-Eaters' island, some men eat the lotus flower, which makes them forget their home and need rescue.
4. When Odysseus's men ignore his warning and eat Lord Helios's sacred cattle, Helios convinces Zeus to punish them, killing all of Odysseus's crew.

The Isle of Man is not a location in The Odyssey, so that option is incorrect.

Answer:

• Lord Helios, the sun god, has killed Odysseus's men for eating his cattle.
• The crew has been attacked by an army at Cicones.
• Zeus has sent a huge sea storm.
• Some of the men have eaten the lotus flower and had to be rescued.
