The ugliest monster
The cyclops, what a name, for such a gruesome monster, he was a large monster, ugly as you could ever imagine, I expected him to bow down to give me gifts that only I such a great human being would deserve so i spoke loudly to him,
"We are the people of Agamemnon, son of Atreus, who has won infinite renown throughout the whole world, by sacking so great a city and killing so many people. We therefore humbly pray you to show us some hospitality, and otherwise make us such presents as visitors may reasonably expect. May your excellency fear the wrath of heaven, for we are your suppliants, and Jove takes all respectable travellers under his protection, for he is the avenger of all suppliants and foreigners in distress."
The monster replied, "Strnger, you are a simple fool, or come from far off, whn you tell me to avoid the wrath of the gods or fear them. The Cyclops do not concern themselves over Zeus of the aegis, nor any of the rest of the blessed gods, since we are far better than they, and for fear of the ate of Zeus I would not spare you or your companions either, if the fancy took me otherwise. But tell me, so I may know, where did you put your well-made ship when you came? Nearby or far off?"
Did this monster honestly think I was that stupid, although I was now terrified of him, I would never give him the satisfaction of telling him where our ship lay, so I just told him Poseidon sunk it.
