Originating from writer Hesiod in his work, "Theogony," it tells the story that Cyclopes were the children of the Earth and Sky. Hesiod states the Cyclopes were "like Gods [who had] . . . Strength and force". This illustrates how Hesiod had originally described their abilities. Many Greeks believed that a large population of Cyclops may have lived in a far away area, lacking law and order. ]]> 2022-12-20 16:59:02 UTC https://padlet.com/klmai101/ocrkfplltb46rvrb/wish/2425984455 Works Cited klmai101 https://padlet.com/klmai101/ocrkfplltb46rvrb/wish/2425986419 1) Cartwright, Mark. “Cyclops (Creature).” World History Encyclopedia, 17 Dec. 2022, www.worldhistory.org/Cyclops_(Creature).

Odysseus tells Polyphemus his name is Nobody. The Cyclops cried that "Nobody" was attacking him to the other Cyclopes' but Odysseus feels jealous that his real name wasn't getting recognized for the defeat of the the Cyclopes and yelled his true name of Odysseus.
