odyssey pt 2
Storyboard Text
- No. Let's stay and see what gifts these brutes have for us.
- We entered the cyclops's cave and feasted on the racks of cheese he had. My crew begged to leave with what we could, but my greed got the better of me.
- We should take what we can and leave. We don't want a fight.
- Then, the terrible cyclops, Polyphemus, entered. I pleaded to him as a suppliant, but he did not care.
- Who are you, pirate, who would raid my home?
- I am Nobody, a suppliant to you... Zeus demands that you do no harm.
- We Cyclops do not fear the gods, and we follow our own rules. Now, I will eat all of you in due time. Prepare for your deaths.
- We waited until he fell asleep to initiate the plan we formulated during the day. We stabbed him in the eye with a great log that I sharpened to scare him out of his home. We could not kill him, for we would not have been able to move the massive stone blocking the door.
- Quickly, now, escape on the sheep!
- I was on my ship, but the great brute had picked up boulders to hurl. He tried to gather his brothers, but they did not help him.
- Quick, brothers, Nobody stabbed my eye! Get him!
- We had made our escape, but my prideful self would not leave the cyclops alone.
- Poseidon, if you are my father, curse Odysseus so that if he ever returns home, it will be through great sorrow and labor.
- Let it be known that it was I, Odysseus of Ithaca, who blinded the Cyclops.
- We sacrificed the legs of the best ram we took from the cyclops to Zeus, but he did not change his mind. He and his brother who rules the seas were still intent on destroying us.
