  The following morning, the cyclops awakes. After he milks his sheep he prepares another meal, with two other companions of yours. After he finishes his dinner he drives his animals outside the cave. Afterwards he picks up the stone and puts it once again in front of the entrance, as easily as one closes a quiver with a cover.
  
  Inside the damp, cold cave you you check your surroundings, devising a plan to bring demise to your one-eyed host, to punish him for his cruelty and to bring glory to Athens. Near one of the walls of the vaulted cave lay a pole, freshly cut by the Cyclops, which he uses to prepares fires for cooking when it's dried. It is about the size of the mast of a small ship. After finishing a sharp point to the pole you stick it in the glowing embers of his fire, to harden it. After the pole is sufficiently hardened you hide it in a pile of droppings in the back of the cave, a pretty big pile.
  
  That evening your host returns. After he drives his cattle into the cave he once again seals of the entrance of the cave with the huge stone. Then he cooks two more men, now there are only you, Cyrus and one of the crew members remaining.
  
  > wait until he finishes his meal
  You watch in horror as the frighening giant finishes his macabre meal. After he wipes the last bloodstains from his chin you approach your host with the sack of wine you took as a meeting gift.
  
  'Most noble host. Please accept this peace offering.we brought with us as a meeting gift, it will taste good after your meal of human flesh. We came here, hoping that you were a kind and generous host who could help us to reach the island of Sparta. But why, do you think, shall people visit this island once again, after all the misery that you put us through.?'
  
  After you speak this words, the cyclops takes the sack of unmixed win and takes a large swig of it. He obviously likes the wine and answers:
  
  'This wine is amazing. Don't take me wrong, even in the lands of the cyclopses the gods send the rain from the skies which make the grape vines flourish, but this wine is like ambrozia, the nectar of the gods. Please, tell me who you are, noble guest.'
  
  After these words he once again puts the sack to his lips and he empties the sack of wine into his mouth. The wine immediately takes effect. Immediately you answer him with the winged words:
  
  'You ask me who I am? Well, I'll tell you. My glorious name is Nobody. Nobody is the name that my parents gave me and Nobody is the name that I am known by.'
  
  'Well then nobody. In exchange for your gift of wine, I shall give you a gift of my own. You will be the last one of your company that I'll eat. Let that be my gift to you. Yes, let that be my gift to you...'
  
  And with these last words the cyclops falls asleep. You and your companions rush to the pile of droppings and retrieve the sharpened pole from underneath. You quickly rush to the sleeping giant and stick the pole into his single eyesocket. You keep twisting the pole until the red blood flows from the wound.
  
  An agonizing roar bellows through the vaulted cave. Frightenend, you and your companions run to the back of the cave. The cyclops stands up from the floor of the cave, still screaming and roaring, calling for the help of the cyclopses that inhabit the surrounding caves...
  
  > A family visit
  With a great effort he manages to reach the entrance of the cave. He uses his tremendous strength to remove the stone blocking the entrance. Almost instantly you hear thundering footsteps closing in on the cave. Booming voices speak outside: 'Polyphemos, what happened to you? Why are you disturbing the divine night with your cries for help? Has someone with great strength hurt you, or were you tricked by some malevolent scheme?'
  
  Your host, the brutish Polyphemus, answers his brothers: 'My brothers, Nobody is hurting me with his schemes, there is no violence.'
  
  The others answer with the winged words: 'But if nobody is hurting you and you are there all alone, then why are you Disturbing our slumbers? If a disease or other affliction from the gods struck you, it is of no use to shout, for you can't take actions against the immortal Zeus, the cloud-gatherer. Try praying to our father, Poseidon, the god of the seas.'
  
  After they spoke these words his brothers left the grounds of the godlike Polyphemus. Smiling, you see how the cyclops, while feeling his way across the cave, positions himself next to the exit of his cave.
  
  > Now is your chance, dash through the exit
  You and your remaining companions cautiously walk towards the exit of the cave. You heart is pounding within your chest, one wrong move, one noise may be enough for the cyclops to determine your position. Carefully avoiding the sheep you manage to reach the exit, guarded by the savage giant.
  
  Pressing your body against the wall you try to sneak past him, holding you breath. Unfortunately for you, the cyclops inspects everyone, sheep or guest, that tries to leave his home. Centimeters before you escape your dreadful host he grabs you with his giant hands. An evil grin appears on his face.
  
  'Were you about to leave already, cowardly Nobody? I was just about to thank you for the injury to my eye. Were should I begin, shall I disembowl you or should I rather... ARGH!'
  
  A cry of pain slips past the boundaries of his teeth as Cyrus stabs the hand that is holding you with his sharp, bronze sword. The cyclops' grip on you immediately loosens and you manage to escape his grip. As you try to unsheathe your sword you notice the huge arms of the giant flailing wildy towards you.
  
  > quickly jump aside...
  With fear once again gripping your heart you jump aside in an attempt to dodge the arms of Polyphemos. However, the reach of his arm is too great for you evade with just one leap. You are immediately crushed by the brute force with which the cyclops swing his hand towards you.
  
  As a sharp pain flows throughout your body, a golden light fills your vision. These are the last experiences in this realm before your soul travels to the realm of Hades.
