# data[].attributes.body
Says: "When the young Dawn with finger tips of rose touched the world, I roused the men, gave orders to man the ships, cast off the morring lines; and filing in to sit beside the rowlocks oarsmen in line dipped oars in the gray sea. So we moved out, sad in the vast offing, having our precious lives, but not our friends" (Homer 478-484).
Means: This evidence shows how the Cyclops' curse or petition came true, it killed the crew except Odysseus and when he got home, it was a bad experience, as said, bitter days to come at home.
Matters: This piece of evidence is an example of elevated Language, imagery and personification. The reason why this is an example of personification is because it uses the word "fingertips" which elaborates on the idea of the dawn having fingertips which is not true since it is not possible, therefore, it is personification. Also, the reason why this shows imagery is because it uses the words "finger tips of rose" which gives the reader the idea on how the finger tips would look like.

Says: “O hear me, lord, blue girdled of the islands, if I am thine indeed, and thou art father: grant the Odysseus, raider of cities, never see his home ... Let him lose all companions, and return under strange sail to bitter days at home” (Homer 443-452).
Means: This is showing how the Cyclops prayed to his father, Poseidon, to make sure that Odysseus dies on his journey home. If Odysseus must survive, the Cyclops wants him to return home alone with all his men dead. When he makes it home her will return to dark and depressing days.
Matters: This is important because it demonstrates the element of a myth. Odysseus is a mortal who has conflicts with the supernatural. In this case the conflict is how the Cyclops basically cursed him. Poseidon the god of the sea. He is the one who granted the Cyclops wish, which was to make Odysseus’s even more difficult than it already is.

Says: "Now, by the gods, I drove my big hand spike deep in the embers, charring it again, and cheered my men along with battle talk to keep their courage up: no quitting now” (Homer 282-285).
Means: This is showing how Odysseus and his men are putting the spike into the fire to make sure that they completely blind him by stabbing his eye and burning it.
Matters: This demonstrates the elements of a myth because Odysseus is an Epic Hero.A Cyclops trapped him and his men so he plots a groosem escape plan that is very dangerous. They plan to stab and burn the Cyclops eye in order to escape the cave. During these events Odysseus never breaks his role as an Epic Hero, which is to put others before himself and save them.

Says: "'O Cyclops! Would you feast on my companions? Puny, am I, in a Caveman's hands? How do you like the beating we gave you, you damned cannibal? Eater of guests under your roof! Zeus and the gods have paid you!'" (Homer 390-394).
Means: This part of the text is showing the conversation Odysseus is having with the Cyclops. The conversations shows how Odysseus is being arrogant and saying how he and his men defeated him.
Matters: This shows an element of myth because it shows an example of a hero's quest to accomplish a great feat. I think this demonstrates an element of myth becayuse the text shows how Odysseus has defeated the Cyclops with the help of the fellow companions. An example of this is when in line 392 states, "'How do you like the beating that we gave you..."' This shows Odysseus' victory against the Cyclops.

Says: "I tied them silently together, twining cords of willow from the ogre's bed: then slung a man under each middle one to ride there safely, shielded left and right. So three sheep could convey each man. I took the woolliest ram, the choicest of the flock... So breathing hard, we waited until morning" (Homer 337-346).
Means:  This shows the pretty clever idea that Odysseus had to escape, I believe he is very wise on the decisions he makes to get the rest of his crew alive which is to escape via the sheeps since the Cyclops is blind from the beating he got.
Matters: This shows an exxample of elaborated language since it uses the word "woolliest" in order to describe the way of acting of the sheep. I also belive that this piece of text is important because it shows Odysseus is an Epic Hero by being clever in order to help get the rest of his crew alive.

Says: "I drew it from the coals and my four fellows gave  me a hand, lugging it near the Cyclops as more than natural force nerved them; straight forward they sprinted, lifted it and rammed it deep in his crater eye, and I leaned on it turning it as a shiwright turns a drill in planking, having men below... while blood ran out around the red hot bar" (Homer  288-297).
Means: This elaborates on the execution of Odysseus' plan to greatly damage the Cyclops, which the plan was to stab the Cyclops eye to make him blind so that they couls escape.
Matters: This part of the text uses elevated language, to be more especific, imagery. I believe that this part of the text shows an example of imagery it's because it uses elevated vacabulary on the chosing of words to describe the deed which is stabbing the Cyclops' eye. An example of the imagery used in this part of the text is shown on lines 297, "...while blood ran out around the red hot bar". This shows the imagery on the text.

Says: "Neither reply nor pity came from him, but in one stride he clutched at my companions and caught two in his hands like squirming puppies to beat their brains out, spattering the floor" (Homer 191-194).
Means: This piece of evidence shows how savage and wild the cyclopes are by the text describing the way the Cyclops killed the men.
Matters: This evidence shows an example of elements of myth because it describes the mythical creature (Cyclops). Another reason this demonstrates elements of myth is because the text shows the struggle between the good and the evil which the evil would be the Cyclops since he just killed two men and made of them a meal.

Say: "Ere we stand beholden for your help, or any gifts you give-as custom is to honor strangers. We would entreat you, great sir, have a care for the god's courtesy; Zeus will avenge the unoffending guest"(Homer 172-175).
Means: This shows that Odysseus is trying persuade the Cyclops to let him and his men stay there. Odysseus says if the Cyclops doesn't give him what he wants, Zeus will punish him.
Matters: This event demonstrates the elements of a myth because it involves super humans (Zeus) and mythical creatures (Cyclops).

Says: "A prodigious man slept in this cave alone... knowing nothing but savage ways, a brute so huge" (Homer 87-90).
Means: This shows how Odysseus describes the Cyclops as giant and alone. He also says that the Cyclops only knows his fierce and violent ways. Cyclops is not up to date with the ancient modern times.
Matters: This event demonstrates the elements of a myth because the Cyclops is a mythical creature that also plays the evil role in this section of the poem. We know that the Cyclops will be dangerous and can potentially cause problems for Odysseus and his men.

Says: Odysseus claims: "In the next land we found were cyclopes, giants, louts, without a law to bless them. In ignorance leaving the fruitage of the earth in mystery to the immortal gods... but each one dwells in his own mountain cave dealing out rough justice to wife and child, indifferent to what the others do..." (Homer 56-67).
Means: This shows how Odysseus and his men were able to find an island were they could stay. Though, the island was filled with cyclops, creatures who are not the nicest, creatures who have no law, primitive in all ways. Matters: This event demonstrates an example of elevated language, it greatly elaborates the description of the Cyclopes with a lot of upper level vocabulary. Also, how they describe the way of living of the cyclopes using the words "without a law to bless them" and "ignorance" which is describing how the Cyclopes' mind work or the life style they have and the interactions they have with the others.
