		Polyphemus 2 screamed in such a way that, from every place, the other Cyclopes gathered outside the cave, asking for the reason of such disturbance in the middle of the night, whether it was somebody's treachery or force that attempted to kill him.

		Polyphemus (Greek: Πολύφημος, transliterated as Polyphemos in Robert Fitzgerald's translation), a character in Greek Mythology, is a Cyclops, the one-eyed son of Poseidon and Thoosa.
		When Polyphemus asks for Odysseus' name, Odysseus tells him "ουτις," a name which is translated as "Noman" or "Nobody," but which has been used allusively by later authors.
		Polyphemus then casts a curse upon Odysseus, spiced with a hefty rock that he throws after the ship; for this, Poseidon causes Odysseus a great deal of trouble throughout the rest of the Odyssey.
