The cyclops, Polyphemus, throws large boulders at Odysseus' ship in an attempt to prevent their escape. After Odysseus blinds him, he becomes enraged and hurls the massive stones into the sea, aiming to destroy the ship and its crew. This act illustrates the cyclops' strength and anger following Odysseus' cunning deception.

How many men returned back to the ship after the encounter with the cyclops in Odysseus?

In Homer's "Odyssey," after the encounter with the Cyclops Polyphemus, Odysseus initially has 12 men with him when they enter the cave. After the encounter, only 12 men return to the ship, as they all manage to escape the Cyclops' captivity together, but they suffer losses later in their journey. Thus, the number of men who returned to the ship after the encounter with Polyphemus remains 12.
