In the Adventures of Ulysses, Ulysses was fighting the Trojan war and had to go through Twenty- years of trials before he was able to go home. When Ulysses offended one of the most powerful gods, he made Ulysses and his crew go through the scariest things they have ever faced. They also had to face the scariest creatures ever known to man, meet some of the most powerful sorceresses, and even had to go through the TarTarus (Under World). He and his crew landed on an island they thought was safe. They needed food and saw some sheep and they ran to the sheep. When they got to the sheep a huge cyclop came out. Polyphemus came out capturing the men and taking them in the cave. In there he took two of Ulysses men and put them high up in the cave as captives. Ulysses had to think fast and took some undiluted wine, and gave it to Polyphemus making him really tired and he fell asleep right away. Ulysses told his men to get up and to go over by the sheep. Ulysses took his sword and stabbed Polyphemus in his eye. Polyphemus woke up angry and swept the men from the high cliff in the cave and ate them alive, right in front of Ulysses. He hurried his men to hold onto the underside of the sheep. When Polyphemus was looking for them he decided he had to move the sheep outside. He moved the big rock in front of the opening, only when he was searching the sheep to see if they were on the sheep he didn't check under. Ulysses' men got to the ship where they boarded and hurried away. As they were sailing away Ulysses yelled to Polyphemus "Poor fool! Poor blinded, drunken, gluttonous fool- if anyone else asks you, it is not nobody, but Ulysses who has done this to you". Polyphemus later that day prayed to his father, Poseidon saying" God of the sea, I beg you, punish Ulysses for this".
