Well, honey, in Homer's epic poem "The Odyssey," the Cyclops Polyphemus gobbled up Odysseus' men in Book 9. Odysseus and his crew made the mistake of entering Polyphemus' cave, where they were trapped and became the giant's dinner. Just remember, never trust a one-eyed monster with a taste for sailors!
Why? Because the Cyclopes was going to eat them. :)
He wanted to eat Odysseus and his men.
They ate Men, they were cannibals. Most of Odysseus' crew was eaten.
Yes, there is a conflict between Polyphemus, the Cyclops, and Odysseus in Homer's "The Odyssey." Polyphemus traps Odysseus and his men in his cave and begins to eat them one by one. Odysseus blinds Polyphemus, which angers the Cyclops and leads to further conflict between them.
Depends, If your talking about Tyson a Cyclopes that is percy's half brother since tyson is Poseidon's son but, mot a human and god. He is an mix of an nature spirit and a god. That are how cyclops are made in this series. Weird huh. If your talking about the bad cyclops that has the fleece that is polyphemus. he once fought Odysseus. the cyclopes has the fleece and is attracting satyrs to his island to eat.
In the Odyssey... Polythemus as well as the other Cyclops ate sheep, but Polytheus actually ate a few of Odysseus' crew members.
Cyclopes were probably carnivores considering that they were known to eat the flesh of their human victims, but it was never said what they naturally eat for food or even if they had to eat at all for survival.
the Laestrygonians in the odyssey are giant people who are pretty much cannibals. they eat many of Odysseus's men and by launching giant rocks at his ship destroying 11 of his ships leaving only one ship and a small crew left.
Odysseus and his men eat (steal) cheese in Polyphemus' cave. Polyphemus was a giant cyclops. He did not like his cheese being eaten.
In the Odyssey, Helios is the sun god who owns a herd of sacred cattle. When Odysseus' men eat the cattle despite being warned not to, it angers Helios, leading to their destruction and further complicating Odysseus' journey. Helios' anger symbolizes the consequences of disrespecting the gods in Greek mythology.
The Laestrygonians in Book 10 are the giant type cannibals that eat the crew, but the Cyclops in Book 9 also eats people, as well as the monster Scylla in Book 12. If you need more help spark notes.com has more in depth summaries about the Odyssey.
when people eat them it makes them lose their memory, and they can't remember why they would ever want to leave. that is what happened to odysseus's crew. he had to make them fast (not eat), which they cried about, but they finally regained their memory and sailed on.
