Answer:
Odysseus made it sound as if "nobody" stabbed Polyphemus in the eye, so the other cyclops let him go. The curse that is revealed a the end of his encounter with the Cyclops foreshadows Odysseus's difficult journey.
Explanation:
The clever word play:
Odysseus tries to outsmart and taunt the Cyclops at every turn, first by getting him drunk on wine and then by telling the Cyclops that his name is Outis, which means nobody. This is so that when the Cyclops is telling the other giants who injured him, it sounds like Polyphemus is shouting "Nobody" stabbed him in the eye. This confuses the other Cyclops who may have otherwise tried to help Polyphemus catch Odysseus.
The Curse:
Odysseus and his men sail away from the island by tricking the now blinded Cyclops that they were part of the herd of sheep that Polyphemus was tending. The curse comes when Odysseus decides to try to taunt the monster further and shouts out his real name. What this does is reveal his identity and allows the Cyclops to curse Odysseus in revenge. Polyphemus prays to his father, the great Poseidon, asking that Odysseus's journey back home to Ithaca be fraught with the loss of his friends and his ship.
The long awaited-dream-vacation was no fun at all, much to my disappointment. in fact, it was down-right horrible! We decided to aim for as much adventure as possible and went to Fiji. Fiji is a collection of hundreds of islands in the Pacific Ocean, known for their renown beauty. My family and I had planned to relax on the beaches and enjoy the warm weather everyday. We also hoped to enjoy the beautiful scenery under the ocean while we were there. The water is usually warm, soothing and inviting. Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate, and dashed our dreams. It rained and poured freezing rain all day, and everyday. A strong wind lashed at everything in its path, and created a soggy scene. With nothing to do, we were miserable the whole time we were in Fiji. My family and I were more that relieved to go back home.
