(name

Narrator
They
had
a
long
journey
ahead
of
them.
As
they
began
their
travels
the
god
Poseidon
caused
a
great
storm
that
causes
them
to
have
to
land
at
Scheria,
home
of
the
Phaeacians.
The
princess
Nausicaa,
the
Phaeacian
princess,
shows
him
to
the
royal
palace,
and
Odysseus
receives
a
warm
welcome
from
the
king
and
queen.
They
promise
to
give
him
safe
passage
to
Ithaca,
but
first
they
beg
to
hear
the
story
of
his
adventures.
Odysseus
Well
first
we
went
to
the
land
of
the
Lotus
Eaters,
and
if
you
ate
their
fruit
you
would
lose
your
memory.

(Some
of
the
men
eat
the
fruit)
Narrator
As
soon
as
they
eat
this
fruit,
they
lose
all
thoughts
of
home
and
long
for
nothing
more
than
to
stay
there
eating
more
fruit.
Odysseus
Come
on
men.
I
said
come
on!
(some
of
the
men
do
not
budge,
Odysseus
and
his
men,
who
did
not
eat
the
fruit,
drag
the
others
off
stage)
Narrator
The
men
escape
the
lotus
eaters
and
eventually
the
effects
of
the
fruit
wear
off.
They
resume
their
journey
and
land
on
the
island
of
Cyclopes.
They
approach
the
cave
of
Polyphemus,
just
as
Cyclops
is
approaching
with
his
sheep.
Cyclops
Who
Goes
there?
Odysseus
It
is
Odysseus
and
my
men,
we
need
your
help,
we
have
brought
you
a
gift
to
show
our
appreciation.
Cyclops
I
have
a
better
idea,
I
will
eat
you!!
But
there
are
too
many
so
I
will
lock
you
in
my
cave
and
save
you
for
later.
