- Cyclops try some wine. Here's some liquor to wash down your scraps of men (Homer 9.256-257).

- Oh hear me lord, blue girdler of the islands, if I am thine indeed, and thou art father: Grant that Odysseus, raider of the cities, never sees his home... (Homer 9.443-444).
- Odysseus begins his plan of escape. He starts by getting the Cyclops drunk, so that he can later blind the Cyclops with a stab to the eye.
