The Cylops Episode
Storyboard Text
- Yes, boss. But we should be careful of the caveman.
- Odysseus and his men arrive at an island and they find a cave with food.
- Let's go and eat up and take some food to keep for our journey. Today is our lucky day soldiers!
- Odysseus wants to stay and see the caveman even though his men want to leave.
- I wish to see the caveman, and what he has to offer. Let's light a fire, eat some cheese, and wait for the caveman.
- We got the food boss. Let's leave now before the caveman returns.
- Give me another, thank you kindly. Tell me, how are you called?
- The caveman is a Cyclops who blocks the entrance of the cave. Odysseus gives him wine, and tricks him by telling him that his name is Nohbdy.
- My name is Nohbdy: mother, father, and friends, everyone calls me Nohbdy.
- When the Cyclops passes out, Odysseus and his men stab him in the eye. The Cyclops screams out that nobody tricked him so the other Cyclops don't care much about it.
- What a fool. He believed me when I told him my name was Nohbdy.
- Nohbdy, Nohbdy's tricked me, Nohbdy's ruined me!
- In the morning, Odysseus and his men escape by tying themselves to the bellies of the rams in the cave. The Cyclops isn't aware of this as he asks the leader ram as to why he was laggin behind.
- Sweet cousin ram, why lag behind the rest in the night cave? Can you be grieving over your Master's eye?
- Odysseus and his men escape the island. However, before leaving Odysseus tells the Cyclops his actual name. The Cyclops curses him and prays to Poseidon to make it a long time before he returns home.
- Cyclops, if 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.
- O hear me, lord, blue girdler of the islands, if I am thine indeed, and thou art father: let him lose all companions, and return under strange sail to bitter days at home.
