The hero of the story, Odysseus, is talking to a Cyclops, but his ignorant assumptions about the Cyclops's kind leads to his crew's demise.<u> Odysseus assumes the Cyclopes, just like humans, fear and respect the gods. That's why he appeals to that notion when he says, "Zeus will avenge the unoffending guest." However, to his sad surprise, the Cyclops is immediately angered by those words, revealing he could not care less about the gods. The Cyclopes are clearly an arrogant kind, believing they "have more force by far." Since Odysseus did not know that, his words cause a tragedy.</u>
