The document summarizes the story of Ulysses and Polyphemus from Homer's Odyssey. Ulysses and his men land on Sicily and encounter the cyclops Polyphemus, who eats two of Ulysses' men. Ulysses offers Polyphemus wine and later blinds the cyclops with a sharpened log. The men escape by hiding under sheep as Polyphemus feels them. Despite throwing rocks, Polyphemus fails to stop their escape, and prays to Poseidon for vengeance against Ulysses. The story has been depicted in artworks like Turner's painting of Ulysses deriding Polyphemus and a sculpture of Polyphemus by
