    The corrects answers are: The Cyclops wants revenge for the loss of his eye, and he is angered by Odysseus's taunts.

    Explanation:

    In Book 9 of The Odyssey, Odysseus arrives at the island of the Cyclopes. After losing many of his men to one of the Cyclopes, Polyphemus, and being imprisoned in his cave, Odysseus comes up with a plan to escape: blinding the one-eyed giant and sneaking out of the cave by holding onto the bellies of the giant's cattle. When he is leaving the island after blinding Polyphemus, Odysseus can't resist revealing his identity to the wounded Cyclops so he will know who defeated him. This angers Polyphemus so much that he asks his father, Poseidon, the lord of the oceans, to ensure that Odysseus loses all his men and never makes it home to Ithaca.
