Allowing his pride to step in, Odysseus fails to acknowledge the help in which he received from Poseidon during the time of the war. This angered Poseidon, god of the sea and causes Odysseus to sail rampaging waters on the way back to his homeland of Ithaca. While sailing with his crew men, Odysseus has yet to surrender himself and apologize. Upon the whole journey he acts on instinct and curiosity doing what he thinks is best, but only runs into obstacles that push him back a step each time. One of these journeys involves a Cyclopes whom Odysseus out smarts, but wasn’t aware of the fact that the Cyclopes, Polyphemus was the son of Poseidon.
While the master plan to blind the Cyclops was incredibly successful, he did something severely wrong while leaving the island. Not knowing of the consequences that might occur, Odysseus shouted his real name to the Cyclops, which essentially caused him a great deal of trouble afterwards. ”Hear me Poseidon…Grant that Odysseus / Son of Laertes, / May never reach his home on Ithaca. “ (Book 9, 22-25) prays Polyphemus.

A great deal of his acting talent comes through strongly, if I may say so myself. The supporting cast is just as commendable who of which include Laura Linney (Truman’s television wife) who convincingly breaks down on screen in a desperate attempt to use product placement to deal with Truman, Natasha McElhone as Truman’s one true love, Noah Emmerich as Truman’s best friend and Ed Harris as “God of Seahaven” (the show’s creator and director).
