The Odyssey is a Greek piece of literature that pertains to Odysseus' voyage home. It starts out after the Trojan War ended, and Oddyseus and his men are returning home on ships. The voyage took 10 years, just as long as the war itself.

Cyclopse
On Odysseus' trip back him and his men ventured to the island where the cyclopse lives. There they went there to get food and other supplies they might need. They took the finest wine with them as a peace offer to the cyclopse. When they got to his cave he was not there so they went in and stayed until he got back, but to there dismay when he got back it wasn't a nice welcome. He did not notice them at first but he was quick to close his door with a huge rock. When he noticed them he began to make a nice meal out of then. Odysseus was horrified at the sight.

The cyclopse ate untill he was no longer hungry leaving the rest for latter. Odysseuse made a plan and started to be friendly towards the cyclopse. He gave him the wine and talked to him for some time. The cyclopse asked him his name and Odysseus reponse was my name is nohbdy. So the cyclopse said that he will eat him last then passed out. Odysseus got a long piece of wood and put it on the fire. Then he went ontop of the cyclopse and plunged it in his eye. The cyclopse let out a loud sceam and called for help.
