How does Odysseus defeat cyclops

2 Answers

5 votes

Answer:

By jamming a sharpened stake through the cyclops' single eye.

Step-by-step explanation:

The cyclops can't tell the difference between Odysseus and his men and the sheep Polyphemus lets out in the morning, so Odysseus and his men escape.

Hope this helps, have a great day/night!

P.S. you would think that, if you were a blinded cyclops, you would know something was wrong and you would be more careful and aware. LOL.

The cyclops Polyphemus traps Odysseus and his men in a cave, behind an enormous rock. While the cyclops is out with his sheep, Odysseus sharpens a piece of wood into a stake and hardens it in the fire. Next, he gives the cyclops wine to get him drunk, and he tells the cyclops his name is “Nobody.”
