One of the adventures of Odysseus is the story of Polyphemus the Cyclops , a one-eyed giant. Odysseus arrived at an island with his men, and took some of them to the cave where Polyphemus lived. There wasn't 1) anybody else in the cave, only some sheep and goats. When the Cyclops arrived, he shut 2)himself in his cave by rolling a huge rock over the entrance and then killed some of the man. 3) Nobody else could move the rock, so Odysseus knew that it would be foolish to kill the Cyclops. He had to think of 4) something else to do. He waited until the evening and made the Cyclops drunk. He told the Cyclops that his name was 5) nobody. When the giant was asleep, Odysseus and his man pushed a huge piece of wood into his eye, so that he became blind. The Cyclops shouted with pain, and some other giants heard and asked him who had injured 6) him. He told them Odysseus's name, and so they laughed, and supposed that he had just hurt 7) himself. Odysseus and his man escaped by hiding 8) themselves under the sheep as they left the cave in the morning. Polyphemus couldn't see or feel 9) anything. The giant threw huge rocks at the Greeks' ship, but they managed to escape from the island.
