THE CYCLOPS
Coryphaeus
Nowhere.
Cyclops
It's the stranger I mean, you fool, the one
who stuffed me full of wine and did me in.
Coryphaeus
(Sententiously.)
Wine is tricky; very hard to wrestle with.
Cyclops
By the gods, has he escaped or is he inside?
Coryphaeus
There they are, standing quiet over there, 680
under cover of the rock.
Cyclops
On which side?
Coryphaeus
On your right.
(Cyclops leaves the entrance and stumbles with out-
stretched hands toward the right. Meanwhile
the Greeks steal out of the cave.)
Cyclops
Where?
Coryphaeus
Over against the rock.
Do you have them?
Cyclops
(Running into a jutting rock.)
Ouf! Trouble on trouble.
Fve split my head.
Coryphaeus
And now they've escaped you.
