Some would simply consider Odysseus a quick witted (positive) "smart-mouth" (negative) with a spear . Thing is Odysseus's entire crew was (get this) at stake . He and they needed Polyphemus's food for their intended destination : HOME . Keep in Mind that Polyphemus was NOT considered a MONSTER, but instead a HUMAN {but Freakish} GIANT . Still, it was BRAVERY that Odysseus summoned to confront Polyphemus .
What is the BASIS of this 'Bravery' ?
There is Confidence in one's Abilities, but that is somehow awkward and unwieldy . Even "Belief in one's Self" is clumsy despite its Truth . I prefer Experience since "IT" consolidates both Physicality and Mentality while including Spirituality as "X-Factor" . Odysseus had 'experienced' combat against HUGE Forces that he had Survived . He TRUSTED himself to succeed because he had done so in the Past . Experience breeds Power . {{{I argue that FAILURE does as much but FAILURE is NOT Glamorous nor Romantic}}} .
We are wishing to get a job. We are denied because "You have no Experience" to which is retorted, "HOW THE FUCK DO I GET if you don't give me this job ?" Good question .
