But this, but you – small, pitiful and twiggy –

you put me down with wine, you blinded me.

come back, odysseus, and i'll treat you well,

praying the god of earthquake to befriend you –

his son i am, for he by his avowal

fathered me, and, if he will, he may

heal me of this black wound – he and no other

of all the happy gods or mortal men.'

few words i shouted in reply to him:

'if i could take your life i would and take

your time away, and hurl you down to hell!

the god of earthquake could not heal you there! '

at this he stretched his hands out in his darkness

toward the sky of stars, and prayed poseidon:

'o hear me, lord, blue girdler of the islands,

if i am thine indeed, and thou art father:

grant that odysseus, raider of cities, never

see his home

-the odyssey,
homer

what motivates cyclops to ask poseidon to interfere with odysseus’s journey home?
