Inde ad Cyclopem Polyphemum Neptuni filium . Huic responsum erat ab augure Telemo Eurymi filio , ut caveret , ne ab Ulixe excaecaretur . Hic media fronte unum oculum habebat et carnem humanam epulabatur . Qui postquam pecus in speluncam redegerat , molem saxeam ingentem ad ianuam opponebat . Qui Ulixem cum sociis inclusit sociosque eius consumere coepit . Ulixes cum videret eius immanitati atque feritati resistere se non posse , vino , quod a Marone acceperat , eum inebriavit seque " Utin " vocari dixit . Itaque cum oculum eius trunco ardenti exureret , ille clamore suo ceteros Cyclopas convocavit eisque spelunca praeclusa dixit : " Utis me excaecat . " Illi credentes eum deridendi gratia dicere neglexerunt . At Ulixes socios suos ad pecora alligavit et ipse se ad arietem et ita exierunt .
From
there
he
went
to
the
Cyclops
Polyphemus
,
the
son
of
Neptune
.
There
was
a
prophecy
for
him
from
the
prophet
Telemus
,
son
of
Eurymus
,
that
he
should
beware
that
he
would
be
blinded
by
Odysseus
.
This
guy
had
one
eye
in
the
middle
of
his
forehead
and
would
feast
on
human
flesh
.
After
he
had
led
his
flock
back
into
the
cave
,
he
placed
a
huge
stony
mass
opposite
the
door
.
He
enclosed
Odysseus
with
his
companions
and
began
to
eat
his
companions
.
When
Odysseus
saw
that
he
was
not
able
to
resist
his
hugeness
and
ferocity
,
he
intoxicated
him
with
wine
,
which
he
had
accepted
from
Maro
and
said
that
he
was
called
No
One
.
Therefore
when
he
burned
his
eye
with
a
burning
trunk
,
he
called
together
the
other
Cyclopes
with
his
shout
and
,
with
the
cave
having
been
shut
,
he
said
to
them
"
No
one
is
blinding
me
!
"
They
,
believing
that
he
was
talking
for
the
purpose
of
making
jokes
,
ignored
him
.
But
Odysseus
tied
his
men
to
the
flock
and
he
himself
to
a
ram
and
thus
they
went
out
.
