The living story
The story so far
Polyphemus ate two of Odysseus's men per meal until the hero got him drunk, told him his name was 'Nobody,' and drove a heated stake through his eye. The blinded giant hurled rocks at the escaping ship.
Happening now
He tends his sheep still, by memory and smell. He tells visitors the story — in his version, he wins.
What may come
His father Poseidon avenged him with ten years of storms. The debt is paid; the grudge is hereditary.
