Odessey
Storyboard Text
- 'Strangers,' he said, 'who are you? And where from? What brings you here by sea ways - a fair traffic? Or are you wandering rogues, who cast your lives like dice, and ravage other folk by sea?'
- 'We are Troy, Achaeans, blown off course by shifting gales on the Great South Sea . . . so the will of Zeus would have it.'
- When all these chores were done, he poked the fire, heaping on the brushwood. In the glare he saw us.

- Three bowls I brought him, and he poured them down.
- 'Cyclops, try some wine. Here's some liquor to wash down your scraps of men.'
- Now by the gods, I drove my big spike deep in the embers . . . I drew it from the coals and my four fellows gave me a hand, lugging it near the Cyclops as more than natural force nerved them; straight forward they sprinted, lifted it, and rammed it deep in his crater eye.
- The Cyclops' rams were handsome, fat, with heavy fleeces, a dark violet.
- He sent us into the open, then. Close by, I dropped and rolled clear of the ram's belly, going this way and that to untie the men. With glances back, we rounded up his fat, stiff-legged sheep to take aboard, and drove them down to where the good ship lay.
- Three abreast i tied them silently together, twining cords of willow from the ogre's bed; then slung a man under each middle one to ride there safely, shielded left and right.
