Odysseus's Journey Home.
-
Polyphemus was a cyclops and Poseidon's son. Odysseus saw an enormous cave and wanted to know who lived there. Being his prideful self, he entered the cave and saw Polyphemus. Polyphemus ate some of his men. So Odysseus, knowing he would have to escape so he wouldn't be eaten also, came up with a witty idea. Him and some of his men widdled a long stake and put it in the fire so it would get hard and tough. Odysseus got the Cyclopes drunk and then asked his name. Odysseus replied, "Nohbdy".
