The cyclop cursed Odysseus and his men. For this reason, they spent ten long years buffeted by the cruel seas before he reached his home land.
To go out of the cave, Odysseus and his men were clinging upside down between the sheep.
Odysseus drunks the Cyclop and said to him that his name was Nobody. When the cyclop was sound asleep Odysseus and his men pick up a great stick and they drove it into the one and only eye of the Cyclops. When the other cyclops went to see what was wrong, the cyclop said tha NOBODY hurts him. The other cyclops didn't understand him.
During the night... Ulisses was thinking a way to avenge the cyclop.
Instead of replying, the Cyclops went to the door of the cave and rolled a great stone into the opening so that the exit was blocked. The cyclop said to Odysseu that he didn't have to abide the laws of Zeus... I'm protégé by my father, Poseidon! After say that, he ate two of the men of Odysseus.
Odysseus explained to him that that they were Greeks who were in their way back from the glorious war in Troy. Lord Zeus, the king of all the gods was their protector, and according to his laws, the Cyclop must treat them kindly, provide them with gifts, and send them safely on our way.”
Penelope is waiting for Odysseus, who is coming back from Troy, the city that Greeks destroyed.
Odysseus was famous all over the world for his quick mind and his cunning tricks. It was Odysseus who had come up with the idea of the wooden horse, which led to the destruction of Troy.
But despite all his resourcefulness, he made slow progress home, for Poseidon the god of the seas was angry with him. The sea god sent howling winds to blow Odysseus off his course, and fierce storms to buffet his ships.
One evening they landed on a small island. They discovered a vast cave. Inside they found lambs and goat kids living in pens, and on the ground were piles of round cheeses and barrels full of milk. Odysseus commanded to his men to sit down and wait for the owner of the cave.
Towards sunset, they heard the tinkling of sheep bells, and they knew that the owner of the cave was driving his flocks back home. A giant entered in the cave... He had one eye in the middle of his forehead... it was a cyclop!
The Cyclops was astonished to find a band of men making themselves comfy in his cave and eating his cheese.
