Lesson 7b: Final Paragraphs

Translation

And he [the Cyclops of course] leaps up and shrieks terribly. And Odysseus and his companions flee into the far corner of the cave. But the Cyclops cannot see them. For he is blind.

And Melitta: How clever Odysseus is! But, how do they escape from the cave?

And Philip: The next day, when the sun first rises, the Cyclops lifts the stone out of the entrance of the cave and sends out all the flocks. So Odysseus hides his companions under the sheep and they drive the sheep to the ship and sail away.
