Ulysses is very smart when he tells the cyclop's his name is no name it show his good judgment, but then his pride takes over, and he tells him his real name it’s the most brainless thing he can do, after all it’s what made it so difficult to get to his homeland, after all he was away for ten years after the battle of Troy. He asked his name, to which Ulysses replied, “My name is Noman… He, bellowing, called aloud on all the Cyclopes dwelling in the caves around him, far and near. They on his cry flocked round the den, and inquired what grievous hurt had caused him to sound such an alarm and break their slumbers. He replied, “O friends, I die, and Noman gives the blow.” They answered, “If no man hurts thee it is the stroke of Jove, and thou must bear it.” So saying, they left him groaning… Know it is Ulysses to whom thou owest thy shameful loss of sight.”[P3-5] Pride can be a good quality as well as the worst a person could have, some people are so self-righteous that they become a pain in the neck to be around them. Now a day people a lot of people fell superiority to the rest of the human race, they can do whatever they want and won’t get as badly punish as normal people do examples include all celebrities the worst are Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie, Lindsay Lohan.
