Me and my men were trying to get back to Ithica but Poseidon was angry with me so he made it real hard to get back. But we landed on an island hungry and thirsty. So we walked around until we found a cave with the smell of goats. The cave had in it cheese and a bunch of blankets. So my men went and layed all on the blankets making themselves comfortable and waited for the host to show. When the host finally showed he wasn't happy with us for eating his food and laying on his blankets he put a big boulder in front of the entrance, he obviously didn't beleive in the greek culture of making your guests feel at home. He was so mad he grabbed one of my men and smashed his head on the wall and we heard splattered brains then he ate my guy. I tried talking to him to get him to not eat anymore of my people I started asking him questions and I found out he was Poseidons son and he had older, bigger brothers that live in the bigger caves up above. Then I convinced him to drink some of our wine and I told him my name was "nobody" so I got him to keep drinking our wine and he did. I got him to keep drinking until he fell asleep. Then me and my men sharpend an olive branch and stabbed it right into his one eye. He got up in a rage yelling "nobody blinded me" he was walking around trying to grab us and he moved the big boulder from the entryway to let his sheep escape. So I got the idea to tie my men under the sheep so if he felt them he would let them go. I tied myself to a ram to get out. When we finally got out of the cave the cyclops came and started throwing giant boulders hoping to hit our ship. We could still hear him yelling "nobody blinded me brothers help me". As we starded sailing away I knew we were in for a long trip home. Also I knew that Poseidon is going to be more upset with me for blinding his son.
