Option 3: Collections:

Strangers, Polyphemus said, who are you? And where
from? What brings you here by sea ways a fair traffic? We are from Troy, said Odysseus, Achaeans
(Greeks), blown off course….homeward bound, but taking routes and ways
uncommon; so the will of Zeus would have it. We served under Agamemnon, son of
Atreus the whole world knows what city
(Troy) he laid waste, what armies he destroyed. It was our luck to come here;
here we stand, beholden for your help, or any gifts you give as custom is to honor strangers. We would
entreat you, great Sir, have a care for the gods courtesy; Zeus will avenge the unoffending
guest. Polyphemus answered this from his
brute chest, unmoved: You are a ninny, or else you come from the other end of
nowhere, telling me, mind the gods! We Cyclopes care not a whistle for your
thundering Zeus or all the gods in bliss; we have more force by far. I would
not let you go for fear of Zeus you or
your friends unless I had a whim to.
