In Homer's "Odyssey," Odysseus devises a clever plan to escape from the Cyclops Polyphemus by first intoxicating him with wine. Once Polyphemus is incapacitated, Odysseus and his men blind the giant with a sharpened stake. They then sneak out by clinging to the undersides of the Cyclops' sheep as they leave the cave to graze. Finally, Odysseus reveals his identity to Polyphemus as they sail away, provoking the Cyclops to call upon his father, Poseidon, to seek revenge.
