Ulysess and the Cyclops.

Ulysses was an ancient Greek hero. He was completely human (no god was his father) He wasn't very strong, he couldn't fly, he had no magic... His only weapon was his great intelligence and cunning.

Resultado de imagen de Ulysses travelsUlysses was king of Itaca (a Greek island) He was called to participate in Troy's war. He was fighting more than 20 years, far from his house. During all this time he missed his wife Penélope, his son Telémaco and his land very much.

When the war finally ended (Ulysses was the architect of that victory, thanks to the famous trick called "the horse of Troy"), all warriors returned home. But Ulysses couldn't, because a problem he had with Poseidon, the sea god. Poseidon condemned him to travel around Mediterranean sea during 20 more years. Ulysess had lot of adventures: he listened to the sirens, he travelled to the hell, he saw horrifying monsters... The adventure I'm going to tell you is about cyclops Polyphemus.

In that island he found a cave in which there were many sheep. Also cheese, lambs, meat... Ulysses and his men, very pleased about their discovery, started to collect all that stuff.

But suddenly a great one - eyed giant appeared there, closing the cave with a big rock and capturing them inside. He got angry because those small "thiefs" were stealing his cattle. So, Polyphemus (this was the name of the monster, who in addition was son of Poseidon) decided that he would eat them that evening as dinner.

Then, the hero held an spear and drove it in the giant's only eye. Polyphemus awoke. Checking he had been blinded, he opened the cave and called his brothers asking for help. Ulysses and his men sneaked out from there, fleeing away from the island.
