Away from Polyphemus
What a uselessly macho and totally brainless piece of bravado - so of course
this is what you do. In consequence he nearly sinks your ship with a rock,
and curses you, asking Poseidon to make sure you never get home, or if you
do let it be late, in wretched plight, alone, in a foreign ship, to find
trouble waiting for you. (And all this comes true, and more...) You rejoin
your other men on the small island, kill and eat the ram, and sail on. You
reach an island surrounded by a bronze wall, beneath which cliffs rise sheer
from the sea …
DO YOU …
