After the Troy fire, Odysseus decides to return to his home on the Ithaca Peninsula by sea.

But the gods did not favor him so that his journey was hindered by numerous accidents and, after storms, whirlwinds and shipwrecks, after many years of travel he sailed with a small group of his comrades to the shores of Sicily, quite a distance from his homeland.

Tired of the long days spent in the waves, Odysseus was happy to see a cave and head straight for it.

Explanation:

  • When they arrived in the land of Cyclops, Odysseus became very alert. Before entering their cave, he checked to see if he had any jugs of wine with him.
  • When Polyphemus, the owner of the area, appeared, threatening to devour all the intruders, Odysseus offered him wine as a pledge of friendship.
  • Polyphemus promised him the last to eat him. But when the host asked him for his name, Odysseus answered that his name was Nobody.
  • Soon Cyclops got drunk and didn't know what he was doing anymore. Odysseus seized the opportunity to stick a stake in his only eye and fled. The other Cyclops who came to the aid of their comrade died laughing when they heard that Nobody had attacked him.
