well is took many days but he told him that he loved him
They split the sheep of the cyclops among the men and had a feast, sacrificing the ram to Zeus.
Odysseus and the crew rescue themselves from the cyclops. Odysseus later escapes under Polyphemus' largest ram.
Odysseus hides under Polyphemus' largest ram as it exits the cave.
When Odysseus ties his men to the ram in the Cyclops' cave, he demonstrates cleverness and strategic thinking, key traits of an epic hero. This tactic allows him to outsmart the Cyclops and ensure his men's safety while escaping captivity. By using ingenuity to confront a formidable adversary, Odysseus embodies the resourcefulness and bravery characteristic of an epic hero in overcoming seemingly insurmountable challenges.
After his men stabbed Polyphemus' (cyclops) eye in the cave, he ties each to the belly of 3 rams. Since everyone else was already tied up he had no one to tie him and had to hold on to the belly of the ram for over 16 hours.
The cyclops was suspicious since the ram was usually the first to leave the cave, but in this case it was the last to leave.
"I wish I could buy a ram at the pet store"

Odysseus and the crew rescue themselves from the cyclops. Odysseus later escapes under Polyphemus' largest ram.
Odysseus rode underneath a ram, out of Polyphemus' cave.
As he puts his hand on his lamb Cyclops says, "Would that you, the best of my flock, were endowed with speech, so that you might tell me where Noman, who has blinded me, has hidden himself."
It is ironic because the cyclops is known for his brutality and lack of mercy, yet he shows a brief moment of tenderness towards the ram. This unexpected act contrasts with his usual behavior and adds a touch of irony to the situation.
Odysseus hides under Polyphemus' largest ram as it exits the cave.
In Homer's "Odyssey," the cyclops Polyphemus loses his sight and his rams after being blinded by Odysseus. Homer does not present a sympathetic view of the cyclops, portraying him as a monster who devours Odysseus' men. Instead, the focus is on Odysseus' cunning and survival tactics in outwitting the cyclops.

Odysseus tricks the Cyclops into getting drunk on wine. Once the cyclops is asleep, Odysseus has his men sharpen the end of a log, and then ram it into the cyclops's eye. Once blinded, he and his men tie themselves to the bellies of the cyclops's sheep, which then carry them out of the cave and to freedom.
