Historical fiction and biography are two genres that might appear very similar at first, but that are in fact quite different. Historical fiction, as the name describes, is fictional. This means that it does not describe facts or provable events. While it is based on history (hence the term "historical"), it does not claim to recreate history. An example of historical fiction would be <em>Outlander</em>, by Diana Gabaldon. On the other hand, biographies are based on the life of a person who lived in the past. These are mostly factual and are based on research of events that happened and people that did exist. Therefore, these more closely resemble reality.

One Cyclops, Polyphemus, immediately kills two of Odysseus' men upon their arrival. When Polyphemus asks Odysseus where his ship is, he replies that it was shipwrecked, in other words, destroyed and sunk, off the coast. Odysseus is lying because he is afraid Polyphemus will indeed destroy his ship. To prevent him from doing so and to be able to escape when the time comes, he tells the Cyclops there was a shipwreck.
