HELP ASAP!! WILL FAN AND MEDAL!! Can someone please explain why, who, and what Cyclopes is? All I know is that The cyclopes is incredibly ignorant and isn't very bright...the main character, the hero or whatever, gets him drunk and stabs him in the eye. The cyclopes was found on an island watching over sheep and rams. He killed about 6-8 of the hero's friends in the process of them escaping. Is that right?

:o you are talking about the Odyssey and yes I know...Well see the Cyclops is poseidon son,and his name is Polyphemus.The Cyclops is a one eyed creature and what happens is Odysseus and his men land on a island and what happens is it happens that Poseidons son,Polyphemus was there and he would take odysseus soldier and him and throw him in a cave and put a bolder in front.Every day Polyphemus would eat two soldiers.One day Odysseus confronts Polyphemus and gives him beer(some type of alcoholic drink) and in return Polyphemus asked what Odysseus name was,he replied with Noman,He said I will eat you last of all.Every day the Cyclops would herd his sheep by moving the bolder.One night he went to get two men but the men hid when the cyclops tried to grab one he could not get one so instead he pulled the bolder.Odysseus threw a stick in the only eye of Polyphemus blinding him.He roared with the scream and when his sister asked who is attacking you he said no man was hurting me they left they then snuck out under the sheep,Ironically Polyphemus checks all the back of the sheep but not under so they get away.Get it need more?Fan for future help:)
