When Odysseus was on his journey he entered a cave and was trapped when the dweller of the cave, Polyphemus trapped them and slowly started killing them all one by one. Odysseus planned a way to escape which involved distracting and knocking out the cyclops with wine and then stabbing it in the eye with a piece of wood. His plan worked which caused Polyphemus to become blind. On page 110 Polyphemus prayed to his father Poseidon asking him to make sure that Odysseus returns home very late and a broken man. Poseidon gets revenge on Odysseus and sends him to the island of Ogygia where he is held away from home for ten years..Poseidon did this because of his love for his son and he didn’t want his son to get hurt without the person who caused the pain to be punished.

    Zeus explains to Athena that Poseidon despises Odysseus because of the role Odysseus played in the plot to exterminate the eye of the Cyclops Polyphemus. The reason Poseidon is so infuriated by this is because Polyphemus is Poseidon’s son. Therefore, Poseidon maintains a hatred of Odysseus and “will not let him end his exile”(200) Homer indicates that although Odysseus encounters a great deal of misfortune in his journey, the major misfortune was the disapproval of Poseidon and Zeus. The combined interference of Poseidon and Calypso prevented him from continuing his journey…

    Odysseus says, “’I wanted to see [the Cyclops] and claim the stranger’s gift… So we lit a fire and made our thank-offering, and helped ourselves to as many cheeses as we wanted to eat; then we sat inside till he should come back with his flocks’” (111). Odysseus is impulsive and does not think before he acts. He is very selfish and only wants to see what glory the Cyclops gives him. He expects everyone to bow down to him, let alone know who he is, contrasting Odysseus when he fights the suitors at the end of the story and receives glory from his city. When Polyphemus, the Cyclops who happens to be Poseidon’s son, returns home, he traps Odysseus and his crew in his cave.…

    The gods also realize the massive threat Odysseus’ household is under in his absence, and thus resolve to finally direct him towards home to restore order to his household and Ithaca. The only god that objects to this is Poseidon, as he holds a grudge against Odysseus for blinding his Cyclops son, and thus causes many of the hindrances of Odysseus’ journey. However, even he realizes that Odysseus’ return is essential, and compromises with Zeus: “‘I thought Odysseus should in time regain his homeland; I had no mind to rob him of that day- no, no; you promised it, being so inclined; only I thought he should be made to suffer all the way… I should have taken vengeance, as you say, on my own; but I respect, and would avoid, your anger” (XIII.159-85). Despite his own divine will and hatred of Odysseus, Poseidon had never dared to deprive Odysseus of his homecoming, as this would have upset the will of the gods, which asserts that Odysseus must come home to restore his household.…

    Placing his quest for glory above the lives of his men, Odysseus causes Poseidon to curse them all.

    Similarly to the Cyclops’ terrifying appearance and actions, after Odysseus slaughters the suitors, the old Nurse literally describes Odysseus as “terrifying” (22: 422). Now, all these similarities make Odysseus and Polyphemos sound almost identical to each other but, Odysseus is even more of a monster than Polyphemos. A common theme in The Odyssey, is nostos, “returning home,” and oikos, “home.” The majority of the epic poem is driven by Odysseus’ lack of understanding that he needs to just go home. While traveling around and destroying the homes of others, Odysseus almost loses his own.…

From Odysseus’ perspective, the cyclops was just another obstacle that he had to overcome to get home; Odysseus believed that he was destined to arrive at Ithaca to be reunited with his family and would overcome whatever he needed to get there.…
