who says the following and why? "[y]ou must be a fool, stranger, or come from nowhere, telling me to fear the gods or avoid their wrath! we . . . never blink at zeus and zeus's shield of storm and thunder, or any other blessed god— we've got more force by far."

I believe that the most fitting answer for this question would be Polyphemus, the Cyclops. This is important because Polyphemus is disregarding the imporance of hospitality and obeying the gods; he says he does not care. He does not fear the gods' wrath and says that Cyclops are stronger and better, which is a dangerous thing to say, as it could incur the gods' wrath. Hope this helps.
