C. Odysseus brags and reveals his identity, which results in further conflict.
In "The Odyssey," after defeating the Cyclops Polyphemus, Odysseus displays hubris by boasting about his victory and revealing his true identity. This act of pride leads to further complications, as Polyphemus, in turn, calls upon his father, Poseidon, to take revenge on Odysseus, which prolongs his journey home.
