odysseus
Storyboard Text
- Odysseus and his men set of to the home of a cyclops with intentions to explore. "A prodigious man slept in this cave alone, and took his flocks to graze afield..." (Homer 128-130).
- Though his men wanted to raid all the supplies and leave, Odysseus was prideful and wanted a challenge. "Ah,how sound that was! Yet I refused. I wished to see the cave man, what he had to offer..." (Homer 171-173).
- lets take the stuff and leave!
- no! i must face him
- When cyclops came back, he blocked the exit so none could escape. He began to feast on Odysseus' men. Odysseus wanted to kill him, but would perish too because "for we could never move his ponderous doorway slab aside," (Homer 249-250)
- AHHHHHHH
- Odysseus made a plan to drunken the cyclops and stab his eye to blind him in his sleep. He tricked him with the liquor saying "I meant it for an offering if you would help us home," (Homer 299-300).
- everyone follow my plan!
- The next morning when the cyclops moved the bolder and let out his rams, Odysseus and his men hid under them to escape unnoticed. "I took the woolliest ram...and hung myself under his kinky belly," (Homer 381-383).
- I need to let my rams graze. Even though I am blinded, I will not let them escape!
- They escaped without being caught. "I roused the men, gave orders to man the ships, cast off the mooring lines;and filing in to sit beside the rowlocks oarsmen in line dipped oars in the gray sea," (Homer, 520-523).
