Upon landing at Sicily,\u00a0Odysseus\u00a0and his men discovered a cave laden with provisions and set about feasting. It was, however, the\u00a0pair of Polyphemus. When the giant returned from grazing his sheep, he imprisoned the sailors and began to systematically devour them. The Greeks understood this not only as a good story but as a horrible affront to the customs of hospitality.<\/p>\n
Odysseus offered the giant a quantity of wine from his ship, which gets Polyphemus quite drunk. Before passing out, the giant asks Odysseus\u2019 name; the wily adventurer tells him \u201cNoman.\u201d Once Polyphemus fell asleep, Odysseus blinded him with sharpened staff burning in the fire. Then he ordered his men to bind themselves to the undersides of Polyphemus\u2019 flock. As the giant blindly felt for his sheep to ensure that the sailors didn\u2019t escape, they passed unnoticed to freedom. Polyphemus, tricked and blinded, was left to scream of the injustice that \u201cNoman\u201d had done to him.<\/p>\n
