Polyphemus lifts an even bigger boulder and throws it

The monster suddenly hoisted a boulder —far larger —
wheeled and heaved it, putting his weight behind it,
massive strength, and the boulder crashed close,
landing just in the wake of our dark stern,
just failing to graze the rudder’s bladed edge.
A huge swell reared up as the rock went plunging under,
yes, and the tidal breaker drove us out to our island’s
far shore where all my well-decked ships lay moored,
clustered, waiting, and huddled round them, crewmen
sat in anguish, waiting, chafing for our return.
