"All that day I was thinking what I might best do to save myselfand my companions, and the end of my thinking was this. There wasa mighty pole in the cave, green wood of an olive tree, big as aship's mast, which Polyphemus purposed to use, when the smokeshould have dried it, as a walking-staff. Of this I cut off afathom's length, and my comrades sharpened it and hardened it inthe fire, and then hid it away. At evening the giant came back, and drove his sheep into the cave, nor left the rams out...side, ashe had been wont to do before, but shut them in. And having dulydone his shepherd's work, he took, as before, two of my comrades, and devoured them. And when he had finished his supper, I cameforward, holding the wine-skin in my hand, and said:-- "'Drink, Cyclops, now that thou hast feasted. Drink, and see whatprecious things we had in our ship. But no one hereafter will cometo thee with such, if thou dealest with strangers as cruelly asthou hast dealt with us. ' "Then the Cyclops drank, and was mightily pleased, and said: 'Giveme again to drink, and tell me thy name, stranger, and I will givethee a gift such as a host should give.
