Cyclopes were gigantic, one-eyed monsters, led by Polyphemus. Odysseus, on his return voyage to Ithaca, was starving. Luckily, he located a few goats on an unknown island, where he managed to find food in a cave. The cave, though, was home of Polyphemus, who got angry with Odysseus and his men and started eating them. Not being able to escape from the cave, Odysseus had to find a plan to trick the cyclops.  He introduced himself as “No one” and offered him his wine. Polyphemus soon fell asleep, giving Odysseus the opportunity to blind the cyclops with a wooden stake. Eventually, the Greek hero and his men escaped. Nevertheless, Poseidon, the God of the Seas and father of Polyphemus, found out about Odysseus’ actions and made sure that his return to Ithaca would last a bit longer!..
