Odysseus blinds the cyclops with a sharpened spear. They escape by attaching themselves to the bottom of the sheep. The cyclops is feeling the ground but does not hurt the sheep because he loves them. So when the Cyclops feels the tops of the sheep, he lets them go, letting Odysseus and his men go in the process.
The cyclops werent even the ones to free Odysseus and his men, when the men were in the cave with their cyclops they blinded him with the cyclops's own sharpened bludgeon, Odysseus using he keen sense of mind says his name is "nobody", when the cyclops is stabbed with the steak, he screams having his friends from other caves come and ask what had happened/ who did this? his response is "nobody did this" so the other cyclops went away. When the blinded cyclops needed help he opened up his cave having the sheep inside to run out figuring that the men will be bound to escape and so when they do he can kill them. Smart enough, Odysseus and his men grabbed onto the underbellies of the sheep to safely excape. As the cyclops felt each sheep as they walked out of the cave, he was trying to make sure no men were escaping, but the cyclops not knowing they were underneith, and so Odysseus and his men escape thanks to Odysseus. As they enter their boats, the cyclops curses them and asks for his fathers help to kill the men who had injured him, his father being posiden. As they set sail, the waves are massive and the weather is awful, on top of that, the other cyclops were throwing boulders out to the ship to destroy it and its inhabitants aboard... hope this helps!
They all run to their ship and sail away. Odysseus can't help mocking the now blind Cyclops and they get a few boulders thrown at them for his pride.
Eurylochus tells Odysseus what has happened to the other 22 men. He did not eat the food as he suspected danger, so he was able to avoid the spell and run back to safety.
Odysseus sends some of his men to explore the island and they run into to not-so-humble Laestrygonians who are cannibals and eat his exploring men.Out of the twelve boats with which Odysseus arrives on the island, eleven are destroyed and the Greeks on them either drown or are consumed.Cannibals attack and destroy many of his men and reduce his number of ships to just one
If the cattle are killed, then Odysseus will lose all his men and his ship, and may only return home in bad-shape, finding his house over-run with high-handed men, devouring his stores under the pretext of paying court and making presents to his wife.
It is very hard for a human to kill a cyclops. Instead you have to blind it and run away. Only use this tactic if one is attacking you.
Do enough damage to the cyclops without killing them and the O button will appear over their heads, run to them and push O and follow the onscreen prompts and kratos will pull the eye out of the cyclops. <insert eye pun here>
