Cyclops Activity- Book 9 In The Odyssey, Odysseus encounters Polyphemus, a Cyclops, and has to outwit him in order to survive. From Odysseus’ point of view he has been triumphant and even gloats to the Cyclops as he and his men are sailing away. Would the story be the same if it were told from the Cyclops point of view? Would Odysseus still be a hero? Would the Cyclops still be considered a monster?

In this activity you will re-tell the story of the Cyclops from Polyphemus’ point of view. Everything in the story must stay the same, however it will be told through Polyphemus’ eyes. Use your creativity to decide what the Cyclops is thinking and why he reacted the way he did to Odysseus.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
