Answer 2

The characteristic of "In the One-Eyed Giant's Cave" from Homer's Odyssey best qualifies it as an epic because C: The Cyclops is a massive monster in size and power.

Explanation:

“Epic” means a long story or a poem based on an ancient traditional hero or legendary person meant to describe his heroism. The story "In the One-Eyed Giant's Cave" from Homer's Odyssey is an epic describing one-eyed giant Cyclops named Polyphemus and how heroically Odyssey fought with him and escaped from his trap. So, option D describes the body type of Cyclops and is the correct option. Cyclops had this one big eye in the centre of his forehead.

Odysseus was returning from Troy and got trapped in the giant’s cave. To escape from the cave, the hero manipulated the monster with wine and as soon as he slept, he forced a burning stick into his eye.
