Cyclops
Storyboard Text
- A wineskin full brought along, and victuals in a bag, for in my bones I knew some towering brute would be upon us soon all outward power, a wild man, ignorant of civility.
- We climbed, then, briskly to the cave. But Cyclops had gone afield, to pasture his fat sheep, so we looked round at everything inside: a drying rack that sagged with cheeses, pens crowded with lambs and kids, each in its class.
- Now I chopped out a six foot section of this poleand set it down before my men, who scraped it;and when they had it smooth, I hewed againto make a stake with pointed end.
- f ever mortal man inquire how you were put to shame and blinded, tell him Odysseus, raider of cities, took your eye Laertes son, whose home s on Ithaca!
- He seized and drained the bowl, and it went down so fiery and smooth he called for more. Give me another, thank you kindly. Tell me, how are you called?
- The Cyclops bellowed and the rock roared round him, and we fell back in fear. Clawing his face he tugged the bloody spike out of his eye, threw it away, and his wild hands went groping; then he set up a howl for Cyclopeswho lived in caves on windy peaks nearby.
- My great eye lost, and at Odysseus' hands. Always I had in mind some giant, armed in giant force, would come against me here.
