It can be inferred in lines 350-353 that Odysseus did not kill the cyclops because

only the cyclops could remove the stone blocking the cave.

Lines 280-284 describe the rock covering the cave as being

so large that even 22 wagons could not move it.

Lines 240-242 give a clue as to why only 1 wineskin was able to make the Cyclops so drunk.

1 cup of wine had to be diluted with 20 cups of water.

Making connections: Hubris ("excessive pride or self confidence") can be seen when you

don't review a lesson that you perfected in a seatwork.

Plot events happen for a reason: Because Polyphemus learned Odysseus' name

Poseidon cursed his crew with hardship and loss.

It can be inferred that what the cyclops said in lines 424-425 is a gift because

Odysseus will live the longest of all his men.

It can be inferred in lines 329-333 that Odysseus lied because

he knew the Cyclops wanted to do harm to his men.
