Best Answer

When Odysseus blinded Polyphemus and stole many of his sheep, the Cyclops prayed to Poseidon to keep Odysseus from ever returning home or at least to make his journey long, perilous, and hard, and that he would return home by himself, with his entire crew dead. This prayer clearly foreshadows that some evil will befall Odysseus. This is true, as we find out in the rest of the story. He encounters Scylla and Charibdis, the Sirens, endures Apollo's wrath, loses half his crew from being eaten by giants, and returns home twenty years later to find that random kings and princes have trashed his castle and are trying to steal his wife.
