Grief and Escape (Cyclops pt. 6)

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
