Polyphemus was a giant, savage, and cannibal; his only eye was in the middle of his forehead. Odysseus' companions lit a fire and slaughtered several goats and ate lunch. When the Cyclop arrived, he drove the whole herd into a cave and filled the exit with a huge stone. When he saw Odysseus' companions, he ate several at once. Odyssey invited him to taste the wine that Maron had given him. After drinking the offer, Polyphemus asked for more. After drinking that too, he asked Odysseus what his name was. Odysseus replied that his name was Nobody {Otis}. Then Polyphemus promised to eat it last, adding that it was a gift that he, Polyphemus, was giving him as a guest. Then Polyphemus, drinking wine, went to bed. Odysseus, on the other hand, found a stake lying in the cave, sharpened it with four of his companions, burned it at the stake, and blinded Polyphemus.

Polypheus replied: "No one," and then the Cyclops parted, understanding his answer in the sense that no one offended him. When the herd began to rush to his usual pasture, Polyphemus opened the entrance to the cave and, standing there, groped the animals coming out with his arms wide spread out. Odysseus tied the sheep three at a time... and he clung to the biggest ram from below, hiding under his belly. So he got out of the cave with his herd. Odysseus untied his companions from the sheep, drove the herd onto his ships and, as he sailed, shouted to the Cyclops that his name was Odysseus and that he had escaped Polyphemus's hands. Cyclop, on the other hand, was once predicted by a soothsayer that he would be blinded by Odysseus. Hearing the name of Odysseus, Polyphemus began to break the rocks with his hands and throw them into the sea: Odysseus' ship barely escaped death. Since then, Poseidon has hated Odyssey" (trans. V.G.

When he drove the cattle into the cave, he blocked the entrance with a huge piece of rock instead of a door. After locking Ulysses and his companions, he began to eat them. When Ulysses saw that he could not resist such a huge and ferocious one, he gave him the wine he had received from Maron and said that his name was Utis {Utis, from Greek Otis 'noone'}. And when he burned his eye with a burning log, Polyphemus shouted the rest of the Cyclops and told them from the locked cave: Utis blinded me.
