Answer: He is savage and brutal like a wild animal

Explanation: In this excerpt from Part 2 of "The Odyssey", what can be inferred about the Cyclops is that he is savage and brutal like a wild animal. The Cyclops are cannibalistic one-eyed giants. The Cyclops have no laws, nor rules. They are barbaric. Polyphemus is the son of Poseidon. He welcomes his guests and eats two of them. Odysseus manages to make him drunk, blinds him and escapes.
