Next we landed on the island of the Lotus Eaters. The Lotus Eaters gave my crew one taste of their delicious fruit, and they were hooked. They were so drugged, that I had to force them back to the boat. They were all in tears when I strapped them to their oars so that we could leave that horrible place.
After that we landed on the isle of the Cyclops. On the island we found a cave. This cave belonged to the particular cyclops named Polyphemus. Me and my crew found that the cave was filled with racks of cheese, and stables full of goats. We decided to eat some cheese and then wait until the owner came back to ask for a gift. When the owner came back we found that he was a cyclops we were horrified. The cyclops saw us, and ate two men for his supper, and then he went to sleep. The next morning the monestrous beast woke up, and ate two men for his breakfast, and then he took his goats out to graze. When the cyclops returned, I had a plan, we got the cyclops drunk with some wine and then gouged out his eye. We escaped the cyclops by crawling under sheep. When I left I made the one mistake to reveal my identity to the beast. The cyclops asked his father, Poseidon, to curse me on my voyage home. Poseidon held a grudge for the rest of my voyage, and probably still hates me
