The Cyclops Cave

On the next part of their adventure Ulysses and his 3 ships saw forth an island with jagged rocks surrounding it. Ulysses and a group of soldiers went embarking out to ceck for both food and anything at all hostile. What they don't know was this is the isle of the cyclops once they lived on olympus making lightning bolt for Zeus himself but now they were banned to live here. Polyphemus one of th cyclops had saw them land and he waited at his cave lurking them to come forth. In which case they did for Polyphemus was roasting goats inside and they could not resist for hunger took over them. Once they ran inside the cave Polyphemus closed the door from behind them usind a rock one larger then a house.He turned around and grabbed at two soldiers. Ulysses and the others were horrified as they saw the one eyed giant ate them both clothes and all.


Ulysses using his wits drunked the giant to sleep using wine and then stabbing his eye out. Polyphemus enraged opened the door to let out the sheeps hoping it would make it easier for him to find them being blinded as all.
But they snucked among the sheeps and ran out. They rushed on the boat and flee but before they could Ulysses uttered words he should not have. "Poor fool!, if anyone asked it was Ulysses who had done this to you!"
and thus polyphemus prayed to his father Poseidon to punish Ulysses and Poseidon did just that for it will be ten more years before Ulysses can return home.

The Lotus Eaters

The 1st stop they made was at Lotusland where Morpheus ruled who was he he was the god of dream son to Hypnos. This island was filled with a plant that his aunt Persephone had mixed for him, this plant would put anyone who eats it into a dream a good dream a dream that they would not want to leave. Once Ulysses and his men went on the island the lotus eaters people who inhabit the land saw their faces bruised and scared from the war. Ulysses and his men soon found them self upon a pile of lotus flowers. They ate them down quickly through hunger and one by one they fell to the ground. Morpheus slid by watching over their dreams but of all those dreams the one he did not want to look at was Ulysses for he dreampt not of home or his wife and child but of the battle that he had.
thus this went on for days they would wake up eat the flower and go back to sleep the lotus eaters would bring them more flowers as the pile grew smaller.



When Ulysses he saw hism en all asleep but when one woke up they would quickly eat the flowers and fall back down. He knew that He musnt't eat a single one if they were to scape, but their aroma push him back, he had no choice but to dragged his men one by one back to the boat, and sailed away from lotusland.
