With that
he toppled over, sprawled full-length, flat on his back
and lay there, his massive neck slumping to one side,
and sleep that conquers all overwhelmed him now
as wine came spurting, flooding up from his gullet
with chunks of human flesh – he vomited, blind drunk.
– Homer
The Odyssey, Book 9, lines 414-417. After drinking the strong wine given him by Odysseus, Polyphemus falls down drunk and vomits up the pieces of the bodies of the men he has eaten. It is a horrifying and revolting scene. In this passage sleep is personified, as it "conquers" the Cyclops.
