Read the excerpt from The Odyssey. At this he gave a mighty sob and rumbled: 'Now comes the weird upon me, spoken of old. A wiza

rd, grand and wondrous, lived here—Telemus, a son of Euryinus; great length of days he had in wizardry among the Cyclopes, and these things he foretold for time to come: my great eye lost, and at Odysseus' hands. Always I had in mind some giant, armed in giant force, would come against me here. But this, but you—small, pitiful and twiggy— you put me down with wine, you blinded me. Come back, Odysseus, and I'll treat you well, praying the god of earthquake to befriend you— his son I am, for he by his avowal fathered me, and if he will, he may heal me of this black wound—he and no other of all the happy gods or mortal men.’

He wants to obey the Greek custom of providing food and shelter to guests.

According to the Cyclops' words, he wants to obey the Greek custom of providing food and shelter to guests. He tells Odysseus to come back and says, "I'll treat you well, praying the god of earthquake to befriend you". He realizes that he has made a mistake by treating Odysseus without any hospitality. He knew that a man named Odysseus would take out his eye one day, but he expected the person named Odysseus to be a giant. It seems as though he feels guilty for not obeying the Greek customs, and his blind eye is the consequence. It seems as though he hopes a second chance at providing food and shelter to guests might endear him to his father and get his father to heal him.

kap26 [50]

Answer:

The best description of the weather in Moingona, Iowa before the train crash is Option C: There was very heavy rain, which caused Honey Creek to rise and flood.

Explanation:

This train accident occurred on the afternoon of July 6, 1881. There had been heavy thunderstorms that caused flash flooding and this washed out the timbers of the railway trestle that crossed Honey Creek. A locomotive was sent from Moingona to check track conditions. It fell into Honey Creek with a crew of four men on board.  

A young adolescent of about 16 years old Kate Shelley heard the crash and also thought of a passenger train that would be heading the same route.  She found two survivors and went to get help, traveling a long distance to sound the alarm and risking her own safety by crossing another bridge on her hands and knees.  She is considered a heroine and has a bridge named after her.
