When does odysseus put his and his life in jeopardy?
When Odysseus sailed into the cave of the cyclops, Polyphemus. Polyphemus started to eat his crew and Odysseus gave him wine just before he went to sleep with the intentions in mind to make Polyphemus drunk. Polyphemus got drunk and went to sleep. Odysseus and his remaining crew members took and pointed stick and set the point on fire and poked his eye. Polyphemus got angry and called for his kinsmen, but earlier Odysseus told Polyphemus that his name was Noman, so when he called his kinsmen, Polyphemus told them that Noman hurt him. And his fellow cyclopes told him that if noman attacked him, then the gods punished him. So Polyphemus got mad and blindly threw his cave door at Odysseus. Odysseus took his cue, and headed outside under the bellies of Polyphemus sheep, and safely got away. Polyphemus, still in his cave, called upon his father, Poseidon, and asked for revenge. And because of that, it took him ten years to get back to his home country.
