Odysseus: Why, wert thou too drifted hither against thy will?

Silenus: I was, as I pursued the pirates who carried Bromius off.

Odysseus: What land is this and who are its inhabitants?

Silenus: This is mount Aetna, the highest point in Sicily.

Odysseus: But where are the city-walls and ramparts?

Silenus: There are none; the headlands, sir, are void of men.

Odysseus: Who then possess the land? the race of wild creatures?

Silenus: The Cyclopes, who have caves, not roofed houses.

Odysseus: Obedient unto whom? or is the power in the people's hands?
