After the Cyclops Polyphemus throws the rock at Odysseus and his crew, they manage to escape from the cave by hiding under the sheep as Polyphemus lets them out to graze. Once they are safely at sea, Odysseus taunts the Cyclops, revealing his identity. This act of hubris leads Polyphemus to call upon his father, Poseidon, to curse Odysseus, causing further hardships on his journey home. Thus, Odysseus's encounter with the Cyclops sets off a series of challenges that prolongs his return to Ithaca.
