What is Odysseus plan for escaping from Polyphemus?
gbeatty Teacher College – Freshman Well, his plan has several steps. Odysseus and his men get the Cyclops drunk. Then they sharpen a large stake and blind him. They then tie themselves under his sheep, so that they can escape even though he’s feeling the animals as they leave the cave, to make sure no humans are there. Along the way, when Polyphemus asked Odysseus his name, Odysseus said it was “No one.” This (my favorite part) meant that when the other Cyclops asked why Polyphemus was yelling, meant that Polyphemus said, “No one has blinded me,” which led the others to say, essentially, then why are you complaining…and not help him.
