Leader: They are no longer there; but facing thee that stranger stands.

Cyclops: Master of villainy, where, oh! where art thou?

Odysseus: Some way from thee I am keeping careful guard over the person
of Odysseus.

Cyclops: What, a new name! hast changed thine?

Odysseus: Yes, Odysseus, the name my father gave me. But thou wert
doomed to pay for thy unholy feast; for I should have seen Troy burned
to but sorry purpose, unless I had avenged on thee the slaughter of
my comrades.

Cyclops: Woe is me! 'tis an old oracle coming true; yes, it said I
should have my eye put out by thee on thy way home from Troy; but
it likewise foretold that thou wouldst surely pay for this, tossing
on the sea for many day.
