Does anyone know how to paraphrase the following lines from the cyclops story in the odyssey?
"'now comes the weird upon me, spoken of old. a wizard, grand and wondrous, lived here-telemus, a son of eurymus; great length of days he had in wizardry among the cyclopses, and these things he foretold for time to come: my great eye lost, and at odysseus' hands. always i had in mind some giant, armed in giant force, would come against me here. but this, but you-small, pitiful and twiggy-you put me down with wine, you blinded me."
