Odysseus vs the Cyclops: The Full Story (The Odyssey, Part 1)

One name saved Odysseus from the Cyclops: Nobody. One shout doomed his voyage home. Watch the complete Cyclops chapter from The Odyssey—from Troy and the Lotus-eaters to Polyphemus, the burning stake, and Poseidon's curse. Troy has fallen, and Odysseus wants only one thing: to go home. A storm throws his fleet onto the island of the Cyclopes and into the cave of Polyphemus, son of Poseidon. To escape, Odysseus will need wine, a false name, a burning stake, and the nerve to hide beneath a ram.
