"In the end I deemed it would be
the best plan to do as follows. The Cyclops had a great club which
was lying near one of the sheep pens; it was of green olive wood, and
he had cut it intending to use it for a staff as soon as it should be
dry. It was so huge that we could only compare it to the mast of a
twenty-oared merchant ves all this work, he gripped up two more of
my men, and made his supper off them. So I went up to him with an
ivy-wood bowl of black wine in my hands:
"‘Look here, Cyclops,’
said I, 'you have been eating a great deal of man's flesh, so
take this and drink some wine, that you may see what kind of liquor
we had on board my ship. I was wl for him, and three times did he drain it
without thought or heed; then, when I saw that the wine had got into
his head, I said to him as plausibly as I could: ‘Cyclops, you
ask my name and I will tell it you; give me, therefore, the present
you promised me; my name is Noman; this is what my father and mother
and my friends have <

"‘Then,’ said they,
‘if no man is attacking you, you must be ill; when Zeus makes
people ill, there is no help for it, and you had better pray to your
father Poseidon.’
"Then they went away, and I
laughed inwardly at the success of my clever stratagem, but the
Cyclops, groaning and in an agony of pain, felt about with his hands
till he found the stone and took it from the door; then he sat in the
doorway and stretched his hands in front of it to catch anyone going
out with the sheep, for he thought I might be foolish enough to
attempt this.
"As for myself I kept on puzzling
to think how I could best save my own life
[psukhê] and those of my companions; I schemed
and schemed, as one who knows that his life depends upon it, for the
danger was very great. In the end I deemed that this plan would be
the best. The male sheep were well grown, and carried a heavy black
fleece, so I bound them noiselessly in threes together, with some of
the withies on which the wicked monster used to sl

"‘Do not,’ they
exclaimed, ‘be mad enough to provoke this savage creature
further; he has thrown one rock at us already which drove us back
again to the mainland, and we made sure it had been the death of us;
if he had then heard any further sound of voices he would have
pounded our heads and our ship's timbers into a jelly with the
rugged rocks he would have heaved at us, for he can throw them a long
way.’
"But I would not listen to them,
and shouted out to him in my rage, ‘Cyclops, if any one asks you
who it was that put your eye out and spoiled your beauty, say it was
the valiant warrior Odysseus, son of Laertes, who lives in
Ithaca.’
"On this he groaned, and cried
out, ‘Alas, alas, then the old prophecy about me is coming true.
There was a seer [mantis] here, at one time, a man
both brave and of great stature, Telemos son of Eurymos, who was an
excellent seer, and did all the prophesying for the Cyclopes till he
grew old; he told me that all this would happen to me some
