- This is what you get you "bloody monster" (Homer 301). You ate my men and killed my people and no you will be outwitted by "Nohbdy" (Homer 316).
- The crew and Odysseus are very tired and hungry, with almost no rations left, they need to find a place to restock, and fast. They spot an island and dock, looking for any source of nutrients that they can find, and in the mountain top, the crew spots a cavern, "yawning above the water" (Homer 123).
- "Nohbdy, has decieved" me (Homer 357)! Help me, for I have been hurt and tricked into this unfortunate trap.
- Odysseus and his crew climb up to the cave and enter it. They eat a lot of food and drink much, reveling in their fortune of finding so many resources. A cyclops named Polyphemus, then returns to his cave, where the crew is sleeping. He closes the door and starts to kill and eat a couple of Odysseus' men.
- Curse you Polyphemus, you are a disgrace in the eyes of Poseidon. You kill my men and eat them and have every upper hand but we still beat you.
- Oddysseus then devises a plan to escape the cyclops. The first thing that they do is take wine and get Polyphemus drunk. Once he is drunk he seems to find pleasure in the company of these men and asks Odysseus' name and he replies "Nohbdy" (Homer 316). The cyclops soon falls asleep from all the wine he has drunk, so the crew proceeds to take a stick that they "hewed" and stab it into his eye (Homer 274).
- The Cyclops then awakes, screaming in pain, and he calls to the whole island for cyclops' to come and help him. A few in nearby caves come and see what is the matter. They come and ask if anyone has deceived Polyphemus. Polyphemus replies that "Nohbdy's tricked me" (Homer 358). The other cyclops' think he is crazy, because of the name Odysseus gave himself, but they were not safe yet.
- The cyclops is still alive, even though he can't see, so when Odysseus "was filled with laughter" Polyphemus gropes around to find the one that deceived him. But the crew could not escape yet because of the heavy door that blocked them from leaving. The crew then executed the last part of his plan. He tied the rams "silently together" (Homer 378). This allowed the men to strap themselves onto the bottom of the rams. They escaped silently, and then Odysseus mocked Polyphemus, "How do you like the beating we gave you" (Homer 533).
