Answer 1

Answer:

For Sicily, Odysseus lands on an island and took a couple of his men, and very strong wine given to him by other kings from other lands, and went to explore and search for food when they stumbled upon a cave. Outside the cave there were rams and goats and when they walked into the cave there was milk, cheese, and bread scattered all over. The ate and drank until they heard someone coming back to the cave. They hid in a corner and watching as a giant Cyclops came in with his rams and sheep, and closed the cave door. The cyclops lit a huge fire not noticing Odysseus and his men, but after a while he did. he laughed and kept them there for nights eating a couple men every night. Eventually when there was only a couple men left, Odysseus remember the wine. For nights he forged a hot wooden stake and the last night left a bowl of wine out and told the giant it was an offering. The giant drank it with pleasure and asked Odysseus what his name was, and with that Odysseus cleverly said "Nobody, My name is Nobody."  He then dunked the stake into the fire and threw it in the giant's one eye. The giant screamed and when his brothers heard they asked who was hurting him, and he screamed, "Nobody! Nobody is hurting me! My brothers help!" With that they left, thinking he was fine. the next morning the giant lifted the heavy door to let his sheep out, and Odysseus and his men rode under the rams and sheep for freedom at last. As they got to the ships the giant realized what they did, and Odysseus called out, "If anyone asked who blinded you, say it was The Great Odysseus!"

Explanation:

The book is called the wanderings of Odysseus. This is not straight from the book but yet a summary of that chapter. Hope it helps. I'm pretty sure 6 men plus Odysseus were all that were left of those who left the ship.
