Are there any adaptations of the odyssey where Polyphemus is actually a child and Odysseus and his men don't realize???
Poseidon: You stabbed my boy's eye out!
Odysseus: Oh shoot, that was your son? My bad. To be fair, he did kill six of my men.
Poseidon: You scared him! He was already having a rough week at school, and you guys breaking into his room like that set him off.
Odysseus: Are you trying to tell me that guy is a... kid?! He's like 20 feet tall!
Poseidon: Yeah, and his mom is 50 feet, so...
Odysseus: HE HAS A FULL BEARD.
Poseidon: HE HAS A GLAND DISORDER. Why do you think he was having a hard time at school?!?!
