Question part 1) : What did the Cyclope say to Poseidon after Odysseus and his men escaped?

Part 1: When we started reading this journal i was very surprised about the way homer wrote this story. I think you really have to have a great phantasy and imagination to be able to put yourself in certain situations that Odysseus has to go through. Now a little bit about Odysseus: Right from the beginning you can see that he is a great man. He is a great captain and would do absolutely anything for his men. But you also have to say that he is a man who knows what he wants which is not always a good idea, for example when all his men want to steal the things from the Cyclope's cave but Odysseus insists that he wants to see the Cyclope which turns out not to be a great idea. One thing you have to say about Odysseus is that he is a really smart man, for example when he and his men escape from the cave, by tying themselves under the sheep of the Cyclope. All in all i got a really good first impression about this journal and i hope in continues to be as interesting as it is right now.

Part 2: For me, Part 2 was definitely the best chapter of this whole journal. It is the most exciting part because of all the adventures and imminent dangers that Odysseus and his men have to go through, for example Scylla and the whirlpool. Even though Odysseus loses a lot of men he stays strong and keeps on going because he has only one goal on his mind: getting home to his lovely wife, who stayes loyal to him after all this years, and to his son, who he hasn't seen in almost 20 years!

How many questions do we have to ask? One for every part? (BTW This is Marc's reading journal, not Nicolas's.)
