The Cyclops
The next thing that Odysseus had to encounter was the Cyclops they're one-eyed monsters. Odysseus gets there in the cave of the Cyclops and he is talking to a cyclop and the cyclop asks him who they are . Odysseus tells him who he is and where they come from which is from Troy from the war they just had. Then the Cyclops gets two of his companions, takes their brains out and then he eats them whole with flesh and bone. He was really scared that he did not know what to do at the moment. Then he offered the cyclops the "drink of gods" which was wine and then one of his men started to play an instrument to distract the cyclops and so the cyclops fell asleep. Odysseus made that time to make a sharp object and stab him in the eye. He blinded the cyclops and they escaped by hiding under the sheep.
