One moment later Polyphemus grabbed two of the men and

put them in his mouth, grinding them with his sharp teeth

ODYSSEUS OFFERS POLYPHEMUS WINE

Ulysses jumped out to talk to him: “Cyclop, oh Cyclop,

perhaps you would like some wine, ruby-red, after such a

big meal of meat. Everyone knows that red wine goes well

with a large piece of meat oh big Cyclop”.

ULYSSES AND HIS MEN BLIND THE CYCLOP

Ulysses and then his men took the big sharpened log and

put it into the fire, and when it was well heated they grabbed

it together and stuck it in the eye of the Cyclop.

THE MEN ESCAPE FROM THE CAVE

Polyphemus then touched the skin of a sheep, then another

and another. Under each of them there was a Greek.

POLYPHEMUS THROWING ROCKS AT ULYSSES

The gesture had no effect. The boat floated gently with the waves

produced by the fall of the boulder and went to sea. Polyphemus did not

give up. He seized the crest of another hill and hurled it against the

ships.

THE WRATH OF POSEIDON

Polyphemus raised his arms to heaven and prayed for his

father Poseidon, the god of the sea.
