Who is polyphemus in The Odyssey?
Polyphemus is a one eyed giant (cyclops). He traps Odysseus and his crew in his cave andattempts to eat all of them but only got away with eating a few. Odsseus tricked polyphemus into drinking a sleeping potion/drink and polyphemus feel alseep. As he was asleep Odysseus and the rest of his escaped. AS they got into their boat, polyphemus relaized they were escaping and tried to throw a large boulder at their ship but failed.In the Robert Fitzgerald version, the story goes like this- Polyphemos (how it is spelled in this edition) trapped Odysseus and some of his men in his cave that he and his sheep lived in. Odysseus introduced himself as 'Nobody'. He would push aside the heavy boulder (that only he could push) that kept them in to allow the sheep to graze, and so he could go outside, but rolled the boulder back so Odysseus and his men couldn't escape. When he came back and let the sheep in, he would eat some of Odysseus's men. Odysseus made a plan to escape be taking a long branch and hardening it in a fire, which he and his men poked Polyphemos's eye, blinding him. Polyphemos cried out to the other kyklopes (cyclopes), but none of them came because he said that "Nobody has hurt me!" making the other kyklopes think that he meant 'Nobody' as in 'no person', rather than a name. In the morning, Polyphemos led the sheep out by feeling their wool as they walked out, to make sure that Odysseus and his men couldn't escape. Odysseus strapped his men to the undersides of the sheep, and hung onto a sheep himself so they could get out but not be felt. Odysseus and his men got to their ship and cast off, but Odysseus called out to the kyklopes, and alerted him that they had escaped. Polyphemos threw boulders at them, and Odysseus taunted him further when the boulders didn't hit them. Polyphemos then cursed they, praying to Posieden (his father, I think) for all of Odysseus's men to die so he would return to Ithaka alone, or for at least the journey to take a very long time.
