Brief Explanations

In The Odyssey, Odysseus taunts the Cyclops out of anger. After the Cyclops eats some of his men and acts in a hostile manner, Odysseus's anger drives him to taunt the Cyclops.

Answer:

Part 1: anger
Part 2: (Since the quotations provided in the image are cut - off, a proper analysis can't be done. But if we assume a typical taunting - due - to - anger scenario, a quotation like "Cyclops, if ever mortal man inquire how you were put to shame and blinded, tell him Odysseus, raider of cities, took your eye: Laertes' son, whose home's on Ithaca!" which shows Odysseus's bold and angry taunting after blinding the Cyclops would be a good support.)
