Cyclops: And who is Bacchus? some reputed god?

Odysseus: The greatest god men know to cheer their life.

Cyclops: I like his after-taste at any rate.

Odysseus: This is the kind of god he is; he harmeth no man.

Cyclops: But how does a god like being housed in a wine-skin?

Odysseus: Put him where one may, he is content there.

Cyclops: It is not right that gods should be clad in leather.

Odysseus: What of that, provided he please thee? does the leather
hurt thee?
