What can be inferred about the Cyclops?
Answers
Cyclops is a funny character in The Odyssey, who is repeatedly fooled by Odyssey. He is not sharp minded as the other characters which comes to Odyssey's advantage. Odyssey fools him when he calls himself as ' no man '. The next incident where Odyssey's men run away from the cave along with stolen sheep, Cyclops is cheated again.
The Cyclopes are giant and huge creatures who were blessed by the Gods for food for their living. They don't want any visitors to come to their place. When Cyclops noticed that Odysseus and his men had arrived at his land, he captured them in his cave and treated them in the most inhospitable manner. He wanted to kill each of them but Odysseus tricked him and saved himself and his men from his captivity. He didn't kill Cyclopes as he has trapped Odysseus and his men in the cave with a huge boulder which was impossible to roll down without the assistance of Cyclopes.
