but in one stride he clutched at my companions
and caught two in his hands like squirming puppies
to beat their brains out, spattering the floor.

a description of the Cyclops’ home
a comparison between Odysseus and his men

What is the Odyssey a tale?

The 24-book epic poem The Odyssey is generally credited to the ancient Greek poet Homer. The poem tells the tale of Odysseus, ruler of Ithaca, who wanders for ten years, although the action takes place primarily in the last six weeks while attempting to return home following the Trojan War.
