Review:

The men were taking twine from the Cyclops’ bed to tie themselves under the middle of a trio of big sheep.  Odysseus had to hold onto the biggest ram by his hands because there was no one to tie him up to a ram.

Reader:

Milan

When Dawn spread out her fingertips of rose  - personification

Carrion: road kill, a dead animal

Rogue: a criminal

Fold (noun) a group of animals or the sleeping quarters of animals like sheep or goats

Adversary: an enemy

Weird: the original weird is fate!

Who told the Cyclops about his fate?

David

Telemus the Wizard foretold the Cyclops that he would be blinded by a man by the name of Odysseus.

What type of man was the Cyclops expecting?

David – he was expecting a giant man.

The Cyclops was defeated not by a big man of brawn but by a small man of great intellect.

The Cyclops prayed to his father Poseidon to curse Odysseus, that he would not get home, or that it would be a long time of hard sailing for Odysseus to get home, and when he did reach home he would be faced with  bitter days and the loss of his companions.
