Read the excerpt from the odyssey. 'cyclops, try some wine. here's liquor to wash down your scraps of men. taste it, and see the kind of drink we carried under our planks. i meant it for an offering if you would us home. but you are mad, unbearable, a bloody monster! after this, will any other traveler come to see you?
