'Cyclops, you ask my honorable name? Remember the gift you promised me, and I shall tell you. My name is Nohbdy: mother, father, and friends, everyone calls me Nohbdy.' And he said: 'Nohbdy's my meat, then, after I eat his friends. Others come first. There's a noble gift, now.' –The Odyssey, Homer 'What ails you, Polyphemus? Why do you cry so sore in the starry night? You will not let us sleep. Sure no man's driving off your flock? No man has tricked you, ruined you?' Out of the cave the mammoth Polyphemus roared in answer: 'Nohbdy, Nohbdy's tricked me, Nohbdy's ruined me!'

Let it be your father, Poseidon Lord, to whom you pray.' –The Odyssey, Home
