In the Cyclops Cave

00:00 / 00:00

Cyclops

We bring you one of the most exciting stories from Homer’s Odyssey with our version of In the Cyclops Cave. Warning: It’s a rather scary story – as it is all about a giant who likes nothing better than to eat people.

Odysseus, the craftiest man alive, is sailing home from the Trojan War. He and his men go ashore and find a cave with sheep, goats and cheese. They make themselves comfortable, only to find that the cave belongs to a one- eyed giant.

You can find our other Greek Myths, including the earlier Trojan stories, here.

Read by Natasha. Duration 20 minutes.


After the Greeks destroyed the fabulous city of Troy, they sailed home in their black ships, but not all of them received a warm welcome by any means. When King Agamemnon returned to his palace in Argos, his Queen Clytemnestra was far from pleased to see him. You see, before he left for Troy, King Agamemnon had sacrificed the life of their daughter so that the gods would send a fair wind to blow the Greek ships to Troy. Now, Clytemnestra hated her husband more than any man alive – but she pretended to be all smiles and kisses.

And while Agamemnon was relaxing his weary limbs in the warm, soapy water, Queen Clytemnestra crept up with a knife and killed him.

But on the island of Ithaca, a very different Queen, whose name was Penelope, was longing for the safe return of her husband. She had to wait quite a while though. His journey home took him ten long years, and all that time, Penelope was surrounded by men who wanted to marry her and steal her husband’s throne. She said to the suitors, “Gentlemen, I am spinning a magnificent bed-spread for my wedding night. First let me finish making it, and then I will say which one of you I shall choose for my new husband”. And every day Penelope worked at spinning her wheel, and every night she unpicked her threads, so that her work was never done. In this way she kept the men waiting – for she was sure that her husband was still alive and would return home safely to her arms.

His name was Odysseus and he was famous all over the world for his quick mind and his cunning tricks. It was Odysseus who had come up with the idea of the wooden horse, which led to the destruction of Troy. But despite all his resourcefulness, he made slow progress home, for Poseidon the god of the seas was angry with him. The sea god sent howling winds to blow Odysseus off his course, and fierce storms to buffet his ships. And this is the story of why he was so angry.

Odysseus and his men sailed in their swift boats, their oars turning up white foam on the wine-dark sea. One evening they landed on a small island. He and his men hunted down goats for their dinner and that evening they ate roast meat on the beach. In the morning, Odysseus looked across the water to the mainland. He saw a wild country, with wooded mountains wrapped in mist. He decided to go and see what kind of people lived on that land. He told most of his men to wait behind, but he sailed across the water in his own boat with his crew of twenty brave men. On his back he took a skin full of fine wine that had been given to him by a priest of the sun god, Apollo. He thought it would make a good gift for his hosts, whoever they might be.

When they got ashore, they scrambled up the steep cliffs and explored the woods. They saw nobody, but high up on the mountain they discovered a vast cave. Inside they found lambs and goat kids living in pens, and on the ground were piles of round cheeses and barrels full of milk. The men were all for stealing the cheese and a few lambs, and taking them back to the ship as fast as possible. But Odysseus commanded them to sit down and wait for the owner of the cave – for he was sure he would be a rich man, and generous to travellers, according to the laws of the gods. So they waited until evening, and in the meantime they lit a fire, and helped themselves to the cheese and milk.

Towards sunset, they heard the tinkling of sheep bells, and they knew that the owner of the cave was driving his flocks back home. First the sheep came running into the cave, and then they were followed by a giant who had to stoop to enter through the door. He had one eye in the middle of his forehead, as do all those who belong to the race of the Cyclops.

The Cyclops was astonished to find a band of men making themselves comfy in his cave and eating his cheese. He blinked with his one eye and asked in a terrible voice,

“And who might you be?”

Odysseus replied: “We are Greeks on our way back from the glorious war in Troy. Lord Zeus, the king of all the gods is our protector, and according to his laws you must treat us kindly, provide us with gifts, and send us safely on our way.”

Instead of replying, the Cyclops went to the door of the cave and rolled a great stone into the opening so that the exit was blocked. Now the only light in the cave was from the fire lit by Odysseus and his men.

“What care I for the laws of Zeus?” said the Cyclops. “I am strong and besides, I am protected by Poseidon, the god of the seas and of earthquakes too, for he is my father.”

Odysseus and his men retreated into the dark corners of the cave, but the Cyclops could see the in the dark with his one eye, for it glowed as bright as the fire.

“Don’t talk to me of laws!” said the Cyclops. “I know your type. You are scoundrels who sail the wine-dark seas, raiding the people who live on their shores, killing and burning and plundering whatever takes your fancy. In fact, you are lawless pirates, that’s who you are!”

And with that he grabbed up two of the men and stuffed them into his mouth. “Hmm,” he said. “Nice dinner.”

The Greeks threw up their hands and wailed: “Oh Lord Zeus save us from this horrific monster!” but the Cyclops just chuckled to himself and lay down to sleep by the fire.

Odysseus drew his sword and was tempted to drive it straight into the heart of the giant while he slept, but then he thought: “If I kill the Cyclops, revenge will be sweet, but I will also be sending us to our doom, for we shall never remove that great boulder from the door of the cave. Not twenty horses could pull that rock away. We shall surely remain here till we die.”

And so he and his men lay down and wept for their lost friends, while Odysseus wracked his brains for a better way to avenge them.

In the morning, the Cyclops awoke and without haste he ate two more of Odysseus’ men (for breakfast). Then he led his sheep out to the pasture, being careful to roll the rock into the mouth of the cave after him.

The Cyclops had left behind him a great walking stick, of the sort that shepherds use to climb over the mountains. This gave Odysseus an idea. He ordered his men to look for sharp pieces of flint in the back of the cave. They took these and used them to sharpen the end of the stick into a cruel point. Next Odysseus told his men to pick up the stick and harden the point in the fire.

That evening when the Cyclops returned, the men trembled with fear, not knowing which ones of them the Cyclops would eat next.

But Odysseus wished the giant good evening, saying: “My dear Cyclops. Let us not be enemies. See here, I have a gift for you of the finest wine. It was given to me by a priest of Apollo who wanted to thank me for saving his life. It tastes no less wonderful than the ambrosia which the gods who live on mount Olympus feast upon. Here, I have a whole skinful for you.”

The Cyclops tried a cup of the wine and he liked it. “For once you speak the truth, oh pirate,” he said. “This wine is indeed the finest I have ever tasted,” and he picked up the skin and guzzled some more wine down.

“Tell me little man,” he said, “what is your name?”

“My name,” said Odysseus “is Nobody. That is what I am called by my friends who love me, and my enemies who fear me.”

“Well I am neither your friend, nor do I fear you,” said the Cyclops,” but I shall call you Nobody all the same, if that is how you like to be called. For in truth, you will be nobody soon when I’ve eaten you. But as a reward for your gift of fine wine, I shall not eat you till I have eaten all the others.”

Before he went to bed he ate two more of Odysseus’s men, and finished the entire skin full of wine – enough to put fifty men to sleep – and he fell into a deep slumber on the floor of the cave, snoring like a volcano.

Now that the Cyclops was sound asleep, Odysseus ordered those of his men whom the Cyclops had not yet eaten to pick up the great stick that they had sharpened and hardened in the fire. They carried it over their shoulders – for it was as big as the trunk of a young tree – and they drove it into the one and only eye of the Cyclops. The giant let out a terrible scream – and raged around the cave calling for help. The other one-eyed giants who lived near-by came running to see what was the cause of this commotion.

“What’s happened to you?” they called from outside the cave.

“Nobody has hurt me,” wailed the Cyclops. “Nobody came into my cave and did this to me.” The other giants were baffled by the Cyclops’ cries, since he insisted that “nobody” was harming him. Much confused, they all went back to bed.

In the morning, the Cyclops was careful to make sure that Odysseus and his men did not slip out of the cave. As each of his sheep went out, he felt it carefully to check that a man was not riding on its back. But he did not know that Odysseus had ordered his followers to tie the sheep together in threes, and that now they were clinging upside down between the sheep. The last animal to leave the cave was the old ram with curly horns. Odysseus was clinging to his underside. The Cyclops stroked the ram and said, “Cruel Nobody has blinded me, but I shall have my revenge. I shall find him tonight cowering in the corner of the cave, and I shall eat him for dinner, chewing very slowly.”

When Odysseus and his men were clear of the cave, they started to scramble down the cliffs to the beach, taking some of the lambs with them. They pulled their boat out from where it was hidden in the brush wood, and started to row swiftly out to their friends on the island. Up above on the cliffs they saw the Cyclops, standing as tall as an oak tree and bellowing with rage: “Oh woe is me! Nobody has blinded me in my one eye, and now Nobody is escaping across the seas!”

Odysseus stood up in the boat and called out to him, “Cruel Cyclops. You broke the laws of Zeus by eating my men and now you have your just deserts. Never again shall you see the light of day with that terrible eye of yours!”

His men begged him to sit down in the boat and keep quiet, but he carried on calling out insults to his enemy. In reply the giant picked up a huge rock and hurled it down into the sea. It sent up a great wave that rocked the boat so that it almost turned over. When it was steady, hot-headed Odysseus stood up in the boat again, and despite the pleas of his men he called out:

“Listen here you Monstrous giant. If anyone asks you who did this to you, say it was swift-witted Odysseus, son of Laertes, sacker of cities. Yes it was none other than Odysseus of rocky Ithaca who took the eye of the cruel stupid Cyclops.”

And the Cylops sent another boulder flying into the sea. And this sent up another great wave that almost sank the boat again. Now the Cyclops went down on his knees and prayed to Poseidon,

“Oh great ruler of the seas, mighty lord who makes the earth quake and tremble… dear Poseidon, my father… hear my prayer. I did not think to fear this swift-witted Odysseus, son of Laertes, Sacker of Cities. He was such a puny and feeble little man. But please, oh great sea god, grant me revenge. Send a terrible storm to pick up his ships like toys and fling them back down again so that they smash into smithereens and all his brave men are drowned. Or if it is not permitted to end his life before its time, then make sure he only returns home, after many long years of great suffering, and that he finds his land in turmoil, and the echoing halls of his palace full of greedy robbers devouring his wealth. Oh sea lord. Hear the prayer of Polyphemus the Cyclops – for I am your loving son.”

The sea god Poseidon heard the prayer of his son, the cruel Cyclops with one blind eye, and that is the reason why Odysseus spent ten long years buffeted by the cruel seas before he reached his home land.

For now, from me, Natasha, Bye Bye!

  • sofia says:

    NATASHA!!! I LOVE YOUR ACCENT:)I was listening to this in my english class and yes it was a bit long but it was very explanitory. At this moment we are learning about greek mythology and storynory has had all of the stories. my favourite so far has been icarus and daedalus. we got into groups and had to act out a myth and we did that myth but we did a modern take on it with computers and using social media sites for communication. icarus and daedalus didnt want to make wings, instead the make hoverboards. they couldnt hover too low, otherwise they would slip on the water on the hoverboard and they couldnt go too high oherwise they would get sunburnt. they started out well but then icarus wanted to golower so he did and he slipped. daedalus took a photo and posted it on instagram saying icarus falling to his death #yolo please answer bertie and tell me what you thought of our version.
    P.s. i know this is a different myth but please still answer!:)

    Happy new year

  • Nobody says:

    For people who are lazy, here is a short version:
    Odysseus washed up on this island with his men and a Cyclops (Named Polyphemus, by the way.) quickly took them. He ate some of his men, but luckily this gave Odysseus time to think of a plan. He told Polyphemus that his name was Nobody, so if Polyphemus went to tell the giants, they wouldn’t understand a thing. In the end, Odysseus quickly poked a large, hot stick in his eye and quickly escapes with his remaining men.
    Of course Odysseus did many other great things, (For example, inventing ear wax.) but this is one of his well-known adventures.

    Thanks so much for this story! My son is six and he LOVES the Odysseus stories. He says Odysseus is his “favorite human.” You do a great job of making these stories accessible to kids of many different grade levels…scary enough to keep the older kids interested but not so gory that it gives the younger ones nightmares. We would love to hear some more Greek myths!

  • baaaaaaa says:

    WHy don’t you have Pandora’s Box, and Medusa???? You’re really not that much of a great website. You actually let anybody write any random comment, and people actually check them. WHo whould actually do that?

  • Suzanna says:

    Just so you know, Danielle is talking about Darren Criss. It’s no ACTUALLY about the story. Did you guys who, like check these comments really think she was talking about Oddysseus? He may be cool but not as TOTALLY AWESOME (get it? probably don’t, Darren Criss joke) as Darren Criss. Honestly he is amazing, watch Glee on Modays at 9pm, and look up A Very Potter Musical on YouTube please. It will honestly be worth it. Hope you enjoy, funny people x

  • NerdFighter, don't fordet to be awesome!!!!! DFTBA says:

    I used this for my Classics homework. It was pretty useful, and still is. It’s funny how it says it scary, when it relly isn’t. I just a stupid myth. How old are most people who leave comments? I’m in secindary school now. This is quite easy to get basic facts. I also used it for Daedalus and Icarus.

  • Danielle says:

    I love his wacky pink sunglasses!

  • NerdFighter says:

    I love how at first it says its scary, but it really isn’t. It’s just a silly myth. How old are most people who commented anyway? It’s not that amazing or scary, just pretty useful for Classics homework about Oddesyeus and the Cyclops

    Dear Alice, Odysseus took ten years to get home (after spending another ten years fighting the Trojan War)

  • alice says:

    hi bertie! awesome story… shame you left out the gory bits though! do you know how many years exactly it took for odyessus to get home? i luv all your stories and the rate your doing them at is exactly the same as at school, which is great as they really help with homework etc.! alice xxx

  • Athena says:

    I think Odysseus is very full of himself barging into someone’s home and demanding gifts. If somebody did that to me, i would be angre y too,wouldn’t u? Also he shouted to the cyclops that he was a ‘sacker of cities’ proving Polyphemus’ point that he was a pirate (fyi he stole the wine from one of the cities he destroyed) If he didn’t yell back at Polyphemus he would have gotten home much sooner and he would have saved the lives of many of his men.

    mood: the author wants u to feel bad for Oddysseus but i sure didn’t!!

    Theme: You should not barge into peoples homes. and being arrogant toward people way bigger than you is not a good idea.

    Bertie please reply: thanks

    AND NOW FROM ME ATHENA BYE BYE!!!

  • Anonymous says:

    thank you this really helped me with my work

  • Neha says:

    great one

  • Devin O. says:

    I think the tone of this story/myth is anger because King Agamemnon was stabbed by his wife and queen. Queen Penelope was procrastinating to pass the time until her husband returns which took quite a while. This probably angered the men.

    I think the mood is revenge because Odysseus wants to get revenge on the cyclops because he ate his men. Odysseus stabbed the cyclops in the eye so he asked Zeus for revenge. He almost drowned Odysseus and his men by throwing two giant rocks at them.
    (to Mrs Sprauge)

  • Valentina Garcia says:

    The tone/mood of the story is anger or scary. it was scary because he ate men and it was anger because Odysseus was angry at the cylocps.

  • Aaron C. says:

    The mood is cruelty. It was cruel of the cyclops to eat the men, and it was cruel (from the Cyclops’ point of view)for Oddyseus to blind the Cyclops.

  • Joseph D says:

    I tink the tone/mood is anger and revenge

  • Megan W. : ) says:

    The tone of the story was anger and revenge. Anger because the Cyclops was very angry at the men for blinding him. It was Revenge because Odysseus got back at the Cyclops for eating his men . Then, also, the Cyclops got back at Odysseus for stabbing his eye by praying to Poseidon asking for Odysseus to suffer .

  • Anna W. says:

    The tone of the story was anger. It was also revenge. It was anger because when Odysseus and a few of his brave men stabed the cyclops eye because he had ate several of Odysseus men. Odysseus was angry with him and wanted revenge. So it was also revenge because of the same reason. The cyclops ate a lot of his men. Now for the cyclops he wanted revenge on Odysseus because he had made him blind. So Posiden the sea God gave a horrific storm on Odysseus. For me the mood of the story was scared and sad. Scared because when the cyclops came back to the cave and ate 2 men that was scary. It was scary because I would never want to be eaten and so that was scary. Also because of the storm and blinding the cyclops. Now it was sad because Penelope, Odysseus’s wife, knew that her husband was still alive but everyone else didnt beleive that. I felt sad because she had to wait aout 20 years for her husband to come back home while other men kept asking her if she wanted to marry one of them. That was just sad. The other thing that was sad was when the cyclops went blind. I know he is a monster, and eats people, but I just feel sorry for him. He is now blind for the rest of his life.

  • Ryan G says:

    i think the mood was sad. and the tone was revenge

  • cameron w says:

    i think the tone or mood of this story is revenge or scary the cyclops was scary because he ate the men ant it =was revenge ful when odysses hit the cyclopes in the eye but the cyclopes made his father make the ground shake making it so odysseus cant get home

  • Cecy I says:

    I think that the tone/mood of this story was meant to be scary or revengeful because the cyclops was scary when he ate the men and threw a boulder in front of the cave entrance. It was revengeful because Odysseus hit cyclops in the eye, and cyclops got back by asking his father to make the earth quake and tremble so Odysseus couldnt get back home or escaoe the island.

  • Stephanie M. says:

    I think the tone was fear. Because he ate the peoople. & it was meant to be scary.
    & the mood was sad, because i felt bad for the people who got eaten haha.

  • AlexisO. says:

    I think the tone/mood or theme of the story is violence or revenge because Odysseus and the Cyclops kept going back in fourth at getting back at each other but all of it had to do with violence. So i think that Violence and Revenge is the theme of the story.
    (Cyclops was scary too!)

  • Kodie w. says:

    i think that the tone/mood of the story was revenge and scary.
    I think that the mood was revenge because Odysseus got revenge on cyclops by giving him one eye and the other way around because the cyclops prayed the there would be destuction on the red sea.
    the tone is scary because it is so suspenceful.

  • tyler d. says:

    the tone is action because odesseuess wants to kill every body that dose not abay zuses laws

    the mode isaction because it shows how after odesssuessget out there is more action

  • tyler d. says:

    the tone is revenged and anger

  • Bertie says:

    Dear Jason, as far as I know the Ancient Greeks neve reached Honolulu.

  • austin r says:

    the mood was suspensful and the tone was anger because odysseus wanted revenge at the cyclops

  • Braden P says:

    I think the mood is revenge because odesseus wants to avenge his men by killing the cyclops, the the cyclops wants revenge on Odesseus because odesseus blinded him.

  • Dylan S says:

    I thinks the tone/mood of this story is revenge!

  • Alex K. says:

    the tone is sorrow and rage and the mood is scary

  • Tony V. says:

    The tone of the story is bitterness because the author is trying to show how mean and unlawfull the cyclops is and to show how oddysious acts to people who disobey Zeus’s laws.

    The mood of the story is action because it show how odusseous gets out of one senatio and gets himself to the next one and keeps on and having action.

  • Jenna T says:

    I think that the mood is Revenge, odysseus got revenge on the cyclops by blinding him in one eye (the cyclops ate his men) and the cyclops got revenge on odysseus by praying to poseidon that he will cause destruction on the seas. (for stabbing his eye.) I think the tone was Fear because the cyclops was eating them! :O

  • ColbyC. says:

    I THINK THAT THE MOOD OF THE STORY IS DRAMA BECAUSE THE ONE EYED CYCLOPS EATS ABOUT SIX OF HIS MEN AND THEN THE LEFTOVERS OF HIS MEN AND ODYESSEUS ALL MAKE A POINT ON THE END OF THE CYCLOPS WALKING STICK. THEN THEY ALL CARRIED IT OVER TO THE FIRE AND HARDEN IT TO PUT INTO THE CYCLOPS EYE.

    I

  • shelby t says:

    i think that he stories mood is revenge because Odysseus blinded the one- eyed cyclops and odysseus wanted revenge because the cyclops ate his men. i think the tone of this story is sadness and anger because both Odysseus and the cyclops were both sad and angry at each other. odysseus was sad and angry at the cyclops because he ate his men and that he was going to keep them n their until he ate all of the soldiers. And the cyclops was mad and angry at Odysseus and his men because they blinded him in his only eye and then tricked him by leaving because he was blind.

  • TANNER D says:

    the tone and mode is angry

  • Luis C. says:

    I think that the mood in this story is revenge because of two things. Odysseus wants revenge on the cyclops for eating his men. The cyclops wants revenge on Odysseus for stabbing his eye.

  • Brayden A. says:

    I think the tone/mood is anger because Odysseus is angry at the Cyclops because he is eating his men. The Cyclops was angry at Odysseus and his men because they ate his cheese and milk.

  • Nate R says:

    The mood is revenge because Cyclops ate Odysseus’ men and Cyclops wants revenge for Odysseus stabbing his eye because he ate his men. Then he prays to his father and the Cyclops gets his revenge because his father is the god of the seas and makes Odysseus’ trip ten long years back. The tone is supposed to be scary because Cyclopes is a giant beast with one eye and eats the men for dinner and breakfast.

  • Jaycie V. says:

    I believe the tone of this story is Anger and Rage because of the cyclops attacking the men, and the mood is Sadness because of the concequences and fear of the Cyclops.

  • lisa p says:

    tone-crazy
    mood-angery

  • Anonymous says:

    I believe that the tone of the story is Anger and Rage because of the Cyclops eating the men, and the mood of the story is Sadness because they have to deal with the consequences and fear of the Cyclops.

  • Jake H says:

    i think the mood is about revenge and anger becuase odesseus is first mad at the cyclops and then the cyclops is mad and odesseus and wants revenge and the tone is scary

  • Luke M says:

    The mood of the story is meant to be creepy and scary. You can tell this because nothing happy or good ever really happens in the story. Everything that happens is not good news for Odysseus and his men

  • kiara m. says:

    I think that the mood of the story is based on revenge. This is because originally odesseus wants revenge on the cylopes for eating his men

  • Lee M. says:

    The mood/feeling of this story is suspense because when Odysseus and his men are in the cave they don’t know which one of them is going to be eaten next or if any of them will even survive. They are all feeling very suspenseful, waiting in the cave to die.
    The tone/atmosphere of this story is hatred because Odysseus wants to kill the cyclops, but knows that he can’t, so he instead waits till he gets free and then taunts him. The cyclops hates Nobody also, because he gets blinded by him. The crew hates the cyclops too, because he ate their friends.

  • Hannah G. says:

    I think that the tone of the story is revenge and trapped. I bet you would probably would want revenge for being blocked in a cave with a Cyclops when he eats humans! Also, being trapped with this monster could very well make you feel uncomfortable. The mood of this story is scary because just by reading the passage, you can be kind of freaked out. Next, the mood could be feeling danger because of the Cyclops.

  • Sammi F. (Sprague) says:

    mmmm i would say the tone is: revengefull,anger, a tiny bit of disbelief, and ragefull.
    the mood is: scary, suspensfull, crazy, and LOTSSSS of drama ((:

    the tone was suppoesed to be a scary type but then it mixed with a little dramatic
    twist but the story was good

  • Liam M. says:

    The mood of the story is anger and revenge. Odysseus is angry at the cyclops for eating his men. then he wants to get revenge so he ruins the cyclops’s eye. then the cyclops wants revenge on odysseus but he gets away be for the cyclops can get him. Question- Does the cyclops have a name?

  • harrison f says:

    The tone of the story was scary and serious. The mood of the story was vengeful and angry.

  • Ethan says:

    The conflict is Man Vs. Man. That is because they stabbed the cyclops’ eye and the Cyclops threw rocks at them.

  • Amanda M. says:

    The tone or voice of this story is more mad snd angry. The mood of this story is revenge cause Odysseus wants revenge because Cyclops ate all the men. Then it switches and Cyclops wants revenge on Odysseus for stabing his eye.

  • Chase says:

    The mood of the story is revenge because the Cyclops wants revenge on Odysseus

  • Taylor J says:

    The tone/mood of the story is frightening because the Cyclops traps Homer and his men in his cave, eats 2 men per meal, throws boulders into the sea almost sinking Homer’s boat and the Cyclops prays and makes Homer’s journey home 10 years longer through buffeted cruel seas.

  • ChLoE F :D says:

  • Tommy says:

    the mood of this story is tense and scary the only part were your not scared is when the nobody trick makes you lauph or ponder

  • Gunther J. says:

    The mood of this story is revenge because Odysseus and his men want revenge on the cylcops for trapping them in the cave and then the cylcops wants revenge because they stabbed him in the eye and escaped. The tone is anger because throughout the whole story thebmen and the cyclops are mad and angry at eachother for the stabbing and being trapped

  • Madi E. says:

    I think the mood is revenge because both odeddeus and cyclopes want revenge on eachother.

  • Austin F says:

    the tone is anger an hate an volence
    mood he wants revenge because the cyclops didnt follow the law of zues by killing his men an not helpinfg them

  • Katie M. says:

    The tone of this story was probably somewhere in between revenge, and hatred. The Cyclops wanted revenge on Odysseus for walking in and making himself comfortable in his home. I mean, wouldn’t you hate it if some person walked in and acted like they owned the place? Not to mention the part where they blinded the Cyclops. Don’t even get me started.
    The mood of the story was tension. Odysseus warned the Cyclops that they traveled under the hand of Zeus. Basically, he was threatening him, and picking a fight.
    It makes me wonder: in a battle between Zeus and Poseiden, who would win?

  • Cory says:

    the tone/mood of the myth is revenge because of all the people like cyclopes and odysseus who want to have revenge on the other.

  • Maddy G. says:

    The tone of this story is pain and anger and the mood is sad..

    GOOD STORY

  • Michael S. says:

    The mood is scary and depressing because the men are held prisoner by a psycopathic cannibilistic cyclops.

  • Taylor T. says:

    the mood of the story is thrilling because Odysseus has to face the cyclopes and the tone is anger and revenge.

  • S.S. says:

  • Maddie Lopez? says:

    Tone- Angre and Scary.

    Mood- Sadness and Tension

  • natasha says:

    no way is this story scary at all! but thx for the warning :)

  • Jordan H(Spauge) says:

    I think the mood of this story is totally revenge and sadness! It is revege because the whole time Odyessuss was trying to come up with a brillent plan to do something other than killing the cyclopes so he can remove the boulder and then at the end the cyclopes was praying to his dad the God of sea to do horrible things to Odysseuss and his men on their way home! The tone is really very angrey and scary! It’s angrey because the whole time they are yelling at each other and eating mean and being very nasty! It is also scary because the cyclopes ate someone everyday and shut the boulder against the door so know one could esacpe ect…
    -Jordan:) oh and yes i did like this story!

  • Nathan O says:

    the author wanted the mood to be scary, the tone was also a little creepy.

    the tone that i explained is SCARY because the author describes the giant with amazing and very scary detail and how she is talking about the giant’s meals… one of my favorite parts is when she is telling us that the cyclops had enough wine to put 50 men to sleep and then the cyclops fell into a deep trance

  • Hunter R. says:

    I think the mood is vengeful because Odysseus wants to get back at the cyclops for what he did.

  • Sammie says:

    Tone: scary
    Mood: anger and sad ness :(

  • Brad T. says:

    the tone is like anger and the mood is saddness

  • Shane M says:

    The tone is scary, angry, and kinda sorrow because there was a one eyed monster trying to eat men while the men were mourning for their lost friends and trying to get out of the Cyclops cave.
    The mood is suspense, and revenge because you were always on the edge of your seat never knowing what the Cyclops would do.And because Odysseus wanted revenge on the cyclops for eating his men and the Cyclops wanted revenge on Odysseus for blinding him.

  • sawyer b. says:

    Tone- anger, pain, and scary!
    Mood-suspense and sadness!

  • chris.-.s says:

    this story is the best one yet in my opinion this one is ;great beasts;

  • trevor p says:

    The tone of this story is arrogant. For example in the story it sounds like the cyclops thought Odysseus and his crew had no chance of escaping his fate of being eatan by him. Polyphemus said to Odysseus that for this gift of wine, he would eat him last out of all the other crew mates of Odysseus. In addition Odysseus was even bragging about outsmarting the cyclopes. The mood for this story would be revengeful, because the cyclops made his father make Odysseus trip back home take another 11 years. Also Odysseus got revenge on his fallen comrades, by blinding the cyclops.

  • Leslie D. says:

    Plus I think the tone of this story is revenge .

  • Leslie D. says:

    I think the author is the cyclops in the cave thought that Odysseus should be the hero yet again. I think the author has a strong opinion about Odysseus and thinks through every adventure Odysseus makes it out alive once again!

    I think the cyclops in the cave was the awesomest story/myth ever!!!!!!!

    If it were me I would have waited till the cyclopes moved the rock then stamed the stick through th cyclopes’s stone cold heart.

  • Sabrina WB says:

  • Gabrielle (Gabby) G. says:

    The tone is anger and scary because the cyclops angry and Odysseus was scared of the cyclops.
    The mood is sadness because of the cyclops eating Odysseus’s men and the men remaining were weeping for the lost ones.

  • Erica D says:

    I think the mood of the storie is based on revenge and satifaction. This is because originally Odesseus wants revenge on the cylopes for eating his men/soliders . Then it turns and the clopes wants Revenge on Odesseus for stabbing his eye. I think he feels good about how he thought of what he wanted to do.

    Awsome story!!!!

  • celine says:

    The tone of the story was anger and hate throughout all of it. The mood was suspense and anxious to know what happens!

  • kenya m says:

    i think the cyclops is furioua with odyseuss and his men.they had went into his cave and ate his food.the tone also is revenge because both the cyclops and odyseuus were mad at eachother

  • Sam N. says:

    I think its revenge. Oddysess wanted to leave, but to do that he had to also avenge the others.

    Then, the Cyclops wanted revenge on Oddysess for poking his eye, thus blinding him.

    :D

  • Kiara (P) P.4 says:

    I think the tone was supposed to be scary because of when the people got eaten but it wasnt really scary. Tthe mood was suspense because you are trying to find out what is going to happen and it also is sad because of when the people get eaten!

  • Austin D. says:

    i think the mood is angry

  • Porsha N. says:

    Plus also the tone would also be anger and saddness because like i said the Cyclopes was eating the men and the anger would be because they couldnt do anything about it…

  • Annesha W. says:

    The mood is anger and revenge because Odysseus stabs him in the eye for eating part of his crew. Then, Polyphemus the Cyclops for used revenge for all the other men who toke all his sheep and things from his island in the past; Also revenge by throwing the rocks and praying to The Sea God Poseidon for ill faring for the men and Odysseus for stealing his some of his lambs. (Also for running away.)
    The tone is scary because, there is a Cyclops that actually eats men!

  • Porsha N. says:

    I think that this storys mood is anger and revenge because the Cyclopes wanted revenge on Odesseus for stabbing his eye and also calling him names and things and Odesseus wants reveng on the Cyclopes, because he ate 6 of his men or so and also anger, because in the whold story they where very mad and threatned, because the cyclopes was eating 2 men for brekfast and dinner..

  • Mia G. says:

    The tone in the story was scary because the author wanted you to feel scared because of the one eyed monster eating men and trapping them. even though the mood was kinda exciting and suspenciful it was a really good story !!!!!!!! :)

  • Kaler says:

    I think the tone is suppose to be “scary” but it wasnt to me. :) It is scary because Cyclops trapped the men and ate them by twos. The mood is revenge and hatred because Cylops is trying to kill Odysseus for making him blind.

  • alex b says:

    Tone- sadness

    Mood- frightened scared

  • Kimber says:

    This story was good, but again I have heard it befor but it was a little different.

    The tone/mood of the story was scary and suspenceful becuase you didn’t know which men would be eaten, or if the men would even get out safly.

    The author also wanted you to feel that both Odysseus and the cyclops were very revengeful, and rude/mean(depending on who you’re talking about).

  • James pink. says:

    the tone is anger and pain
    the mood is suspense and sadness

  • Britt says:

    The tone of the story was meant to be scary, suspenseful, revenge and pain beacause the Cyclops is huge has only one eye and eats Odysseus men and now both want revenge 1 eating men and 2 blind eye.
    The mood was weird kinda suspenseful and sadness because the men were being eaten and you didn’t know what was going to happen next.

  • Josh E. says:

    the mood/tone is anger and revenge because the cyclops is angry for is blind eye and wants revenge and odesseus is angry for getting his men eating and wants revenge

  • zach says:

    i think the tone is scary and creepy. the mood is revenge because Odesseus wants revenge to cyclops and cyclops wants revenge to Odesseus

  • Caitlyn H. says:

    i think that the mood is scary and harmful.

    i think the tone the author wants you to feel is scared. I think this becausehe made cyclops this big scary one eyed man. To top things all of he had the men stab cyclops in the eye. I felt rather disgusted at this story because they stabbed him in the eye. I also think that the mood is harmful because Cyclops ate alot of the men. Then cyclops tried to hit them with rocks.

  • ROCHA` says:

  • Matt W says:

    I think that the mood is like sadness and revenge. i think that the tone is is anger

  • Brielle a. says:

    I think the mood and tone of this story is revenge, unfairness, and courage because the cyclops made them not have a choice in who he eats and made Odysseus last eaten after the others. Also revenge is used by;when the cyclops prayed to the Sea God Poseidon to hert Odysseus’s men from running away from him and Poseidon did revenge without hearing Odesseus’s part of the conflict/story. Also when Odesseus made revende by bullying the cyclops becayse of eating his men. The most important was that Odesseus showed courage when his men cried of fear and sadness of death because he comforted them and helped them escape without ever showing fear but showing anger.This story was wrong because the life lesson was not even in the story

  • Garrett N. says:

    the tone/mood is revenge and suspense because its supenseful the whole time and its revenge because odyssues wants revenge on the cyclops for attacking and eating his men so odyssues stabs his eye then cyclops wants revenge on odyssues because he stab his eye

  • Taylor E. says:

    Here is what i think:

    Mood-The mood was scary like the author wanted it to be. The Cyclops was suposed to be a frightening creature.

  • Bertie says:

    Dear Jordan, Glad you like the Cyclops. I don’t know how tall he was, but he was big enough to pick up men and eat them – so a huge giant. The story took place just after the Trojan War during the MYCENAEAN AGE so perhaps about 900 years BC. I don’t think the Cyclops did recover from his blinded eye.

  • jordan says:

  • Austin L says:

    tone is scary
    mood is anxious
    i thnk odysseus is extremely clever the way he tricks the cyclops

  • Megan says:

    This story was the best so far. The author tries to set the tone of the story as fear, starting when the cyclops meets his guests. This may have worked as the mood for little kids, but not for most people. Instead of fear when the cyclops arrives, some people might feel confusion or amusement. At the part when the cyclops is shouting that nobody is hurting him, the author, in my opinion, is setting the tone as being confused, but I feel that the mood is amusment or maybe even feeling humored. Either way, it made me want to laugh.

  • Robbie says:

    I thought the tone of the story was fear. The mood I felt ws cunning. Odysseus was clever a pleasing the cyclops first and then getting revenge for eating six of his men. I never would of thought that the men were going to escape on the undersides of the sheep.

  • Alisa says:

    i have more to add. The author wanted the mood to be scary and eery. they accomplished it by describing the giant and talking about the giant’s meals. The tone was lacking the eery feel because it probably geared toward younger audiences or to be appropriate for everyone. Overall the story was terrific and i can’t wait to listen to other stories.

  • Alisa says:

    The Cyclops Cave was an interesting story. the author wanted the mood to be eery and scary, and it was, somewhat. the tone was a bit funny in a way to me but it was a little creepy still. If only they had sounds in the backround like waves, bugs, the giant’s snoring. it would make the story more eery, scary, and creepy for the audience.

  • Sierra says:

    I think:
    Tone=Fear because the people who got eaten I think was supposed to be scary.
    Mood=Sorrow because I felt bad for the people who got eaten.
    Thanks, : )

  • Connor W. says:

    The tone/mood of the story is supposed to be scary and angry. Cyclops speaks in an angry voice and eats the men– you can see how this was meant to scare people.

  • ryan says:

    wow pretty scary and graphic for a storynory story…

  • amy j. =D says:

    tone:scary
    mood:thrilling

  • Lexi says:

    The tone in the story was scary because the author wanted you to feel scared because of the one eyed monster eating men and trapping them. Although the mood I felt in the story was unfortunate because Odysseus and his men had to deal with the monster and thier consequences.

  • Olivia W: ) says:

    I think the tone was supposed to be scary, even though it was a little bit. My mood was that the story was scary and disgusting! The fact that the Cyclops was going to all of Odysseus’ men is scary and very disgusting. I feel bad for the men who was eaten. I am also extremely glad that Zeus saved Odysseus and a small amount of his men. Great story : )

  • Janell says:

    i believe that the tone of the story is revenge because the entire time they plotted revenge against one another
    and the mood for me was selfish because they were only tthinking about themselves and Odyesseus keeps killing his men (in every single story!)

  • conor t says:

    Odysseus is extremy smart in his trick on the cyclops.

    Hi Sabz Sorry You didn’t get a reply before…. honestly I didn’t mean to ignore you.

    Apologies that we have paused the Looking Glass. We need a little more time on our hands – and we think that this autumn we will be able to resume

    Dear Chutee

    Thanks ever so much for your lovely comments. At some stage will certainly do Jason and the Golden Fleece. Our next myth will be Icarus who flew too close to the sun.

  • Bertie says:

    Hi JennyH – I wondered who Birdie was .. thanks for letting me know. Thanks ever so much for your comments and really glad you like our stories. By the way, Ulysses is the Latin (Roman) name for Odysseus.

  • Reader says:

    I love the story.

  • JennyH says:

    Hi Bertie! When I first heard Natasha say your name, I thought she meant ‘Birdie’! I laughed. It’s still a cool name! Can you pleas reply? I love you Natasha and Bertie!!!

  • JennyH says:

    I meant ‘now’! Not ‘not’! Oops!

  • JennyH says:

    I read this in a book called Ulysses! Instead of a stick in the cyclope’s eye, it was a sword that he heated in the fire. Instead of Odysseus, it was Ulysses. That was sooo totally awesome! I love you, Natasha! You’re a nice, fluent reader! But not, from me, Jenny, Bye bye!

  • Emily from colina says:
