Chapter 9

Ody admits and tells who he is to King Alctinous and story of what happened to him

From Troy, the winds sweep him and his men to Ismarus, city of the Cicones. The men plunder the land and, carried away by greed, stay until the reinforced ranks of the Cicones turn on them and attack. Odysseus and his crew finally escape, having lost six men per ship. A storm sent by Zeus sweeps them along for nine days before bringing them to the land of the Lotus-eaters, where the natives give some of Odysseus’s men the intoxicating fruit of the lotus. As soon as they eat this fruit, they lose all thoughts of home and long for nothing more than to stay there eating more fruit. Only by dragging his men back to the ship and locking them up can Odysseus get them off the island.

Ody compares how to Cyclops have no care for what they do

They thought of plan of giving him wine and making a big enough spear to stab his eye

The name he gave to cyclops was nobody and in return he will eat him last, then they stab him

Polyphemus neighbors heard the cry and ask what's happening, and tell's him nobody did this, they laugh it off

Ody men cling to the bottom of the sheep graze when the cyclops let them out to graze

Escape to ship and the cyclops throw boulder in front of ship, Ody announce his name to the cyclops, full of hubris

Polyphemus prays to poseidon to curse Ody for his act, he never reaches home or comes late but all men died
