  • Odysseus and his men find themselves in danger when they wander into the cave of a cyclops. They then get locked inside when Polyphemus, the cyclops, comes home. When Polyphemus kills and eats a couple of Odysseus' men, Odysseus knew he needed to devise a plan to escape. They soon realized that they could never move the very heavy boulder that the cyclops is using as a door. Odysseus soon devises a plan to debilitate the cyclops. They first needed to distract the cyclops while they carried out the first step of their plan. They get Polyphemus drunk off of many caskets of fine wine. As he passed out from the intoxication Odysseus and his men found a large stick that they then sharpened to a point. When the time was right, they all picked it up and held it over the fire. They then went where Polyphemus lay and shoved the hot spear into his eyeball. Polyphemus wakes up with a violent yell, and his neighbors go to his cave to see what is wrong. Polyphemus exclaimed, "Nohbody, Nohbody's tricked me, Nohbody's ruined me" (Homer, 9 . 358).The other cyclops misunderstood Polyphemus and they went back to their homes. When the now blind Polyphemus realizes he is now on his own he opens the doorstone. Odysseus needed a plan to get out of the cave, so he and his ben tied themselves to the underbellies of the cyclops' huge rams. When they had finally made it back to their ship and set sail for open waters Odysseus jested the cyclops, who in a fit of rage, ripped a hilltop of and threw it at them. When the ship had made it twice as far Odysseus then shouted, " 'Cyclops, if ever mortal man inquire how you were put to shame and blinded, tell him Odysseus, raider of cities, took your eye: Laertes' son, whose home's on Ithaca" (Homer, 9 . 457). Odysseus had done this to let his name be known.
