Morning came before we knew it. The Cyclops touched each of the sheep before letting them loose outside. The Cyclops was unaware that he had let my men and I free. As we took the sheep down to our ship we could hear the soft murmurings of the Cyclops grieving over his eye. "We saw , as we came near , our fellows' faces shining; then we saw them turn to grief tallying those who had not fled from death." When we got far ashore I turned around and started yelling at the Cyclops , "How do you like the beating that we gave you ?" The Cyclops grew angry and threw a hilltop into the ocean. I continue messing with the Cyclops , my crew wondering why I was rowling him up again. The Cyclops gives his last offense , then I reply , " If I could take yor life I would and take your time away , and hurl you down to hell!"
I see the Cyclops start to pray.
--Odysseus
