Question

Describe the trick that Odysseus devised. Respond in three or more sentences here, and be sure to describe all parts of the deception, including what role the giant sheep played

Answer 1

The Greeks also got the cyclops drunk on unmixed Ciconian wine.

Answer 2

Hi there!

In The Odyssey, Odysseus finds himself trapped by the one-eyed son of Poesidon named Polyphemus. In order to escape, Odysseus sets in motion one of his emblematic clever plans to escape. First, when the cyclops asks his name, Odysseus replies "Nobody." Later that night, Odyssues and his men drive a giant stake through the eye of a sleeping Polyphemus, blinding him. The giant screams out "Nobody did this to me," and the other giants on the island disregard him for this reason. Polyphemus lets his sheep graze in the morning, but since he cannot see, he gropes for the sheep's wool backs to make sure none of Odyssues's men are escaping. Odysseus wisely has his men hitch a ride on the bottom of these sheep so they slip quite literally through Polyphemus's fingers.

Hope this helps!
