Polyphemus
Polyphemus
He ate Odysseus's men.
The Cyclops ate Odysseus' men.
The cyclops that ate Odysseus's sailors was named Polyphemus. He was a giant one-eyed giant and the son of Poseidon in Homer's epic poem, "The Odyssey." After Odysseus and his men became trapped in Polyphemus's cave, they devised a cunning plan to escape, which involved blinding him. In retaliation, Polyphemus called upon his father Poseidon to curse Odysseus, leading to further challenges for him on his journey home.
In the Odyssey... Polythemus as well as the other Cyclops ate sheep, but Polytheus actually ate a few of Odysseus' crew members.
They ate the sailors and destroyed the whole fleet.
He ate some of them by smashing them onto the stone floor.
Yes, he killed and ate two of Odysseus' men.
Polyphemus (the cyclops) ate four men total, 2 the first and 2 the second.
Odysseus and his men were trapped in the cave of the Cyclops Polyphemus for a total of two days. On the first day, Polyphemus captured them and ate some of Odysseus's men. On the second day, Odysseus devised a clever plan to escape by blinding the Cyclops, allowing him and his remaining men to flee.
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!
The Cyclops, Polyphemus, ate six of Odysseus' men. In the encounter described in Homer's "Odyssey," Polyphemus captures Odysseus and his crew, and during the course of their imprisonment, he consumes several of the men. Odysseus ultimately devises a plan to escape, leading to the Cyclops' blindness and their eventual escape from the cave.
