Odysseus Giving Wine to Polyphemus
In the epic poem Odyssey, which is credited to the Greek poet Homer, the hero Odysseus (also spelled Ulysses) and his men on their way home to Ithaca from the Trojan War are captured by Polyphemus, a Cyclops or one eyed giant. Odysseus escapes by giving the Cyclops strong wine (pictured here). The Cyclops falls asleep, and Odysseus blinds him and then makes it out of the giant's cave with his men.
