Cyclops
Süžeeskeem Tekst

- We climbed, then, briskly to the cave. But Cyclops had gone afield, to pasture his fat sheep, so we looked round at everything inside: a drying rack that sagged with cheeses, pens crowded with lambs and kids, each in its class.
- Now I chopped out a six foot section of this poleand set it down before my men, who scraped it;and when they had it smooth, I hewed againto make a stake with pointed end.

- The Cyclops bellowed and the rock roared round him, and we fell back in fear. Clawing his face he tugged the bloody spike out of his eye, threw it away, and his wild hands went groping; then he set up a howl for Cyclopeswho lived in caves on windy peaks nearby.
- My great eye lost, and at Odysseus' hands. Always I had in mind some giant, armed in giant force, would come against me here.
