However, it could also be said that Odysseus brought this whole ordeal on himself.
One might say that Odysseus was just being the cunning hero that he is defeating the wretched monster, while saving the rest of his men from harm. While on the land of the Cyclopes, Odysseus and his men blind the Cyclops and take his precious sheep and slaughter them for a feast. In Book 9, Odysseus’ relentless pride costs him the lives of two of his men, when he and his crew end up on the land of the Cyclopes. In books 9 and 10, one can see how Odysseus’ pride and ego got the best of him. Odysseus is his own worst enemy is not a victim of circumstance, rather he is a victim of his own pride and ego.
