The correct answer is "Polyphemus then told his father Poseidon who had blinded him, and thus Odysseus and his crew suffered dreadfully from Poseidon's curse."
First, Odysseus told Polyphemus that his name was Nobody in order to prevent him from calling for help. This proves helpful when Odysseus blinds him and since he screams "Nobody is killing me" nobody helps him. But after Odysseus manages to blind him and escape, he admitts reveals his true name. This revelation allows Polyphemus to curse him and his father Poseidon sends a storm that wrecks Odysseus ship, and if he is able to arrive to Ithaca, the curse says that it will only be possible after spending years in the sea and losing all his companions.
Grammatically Unconventional
We know, we know – the last time you wrote a "grammatically unconventional" English paper you got a C-. Stephen Crane certainly takes liberty with the conventions of the language, going Yoda on us with sentences like these:
"Doubts and he were struggling" (11.15).
"A sputtering of musketry was always to be heard" (16.1).
"It is true that his trousers felt to him that they were no fit for his legs at all" (3.27).
"A house standing placidly in distant fields had to him an ominous look" (3.28).
Weird, right? This takes some getting used to, but it certainly marks the novel with a stylistic individuality.
I like color black and blue. They are my favorite colors
