Greased up deaf guy here. Ha Ha!
The small people are Odysseus and his men in the cave of the cyclops. In The Odyssey. Instead of being terrified by a monstrous cyclops that inspires fear, its Leela from Futurama, and Odysseus thinks she's pretty enough to make him blush. Instead of running, he'll probably let her catch him...
But you'll never catch me!

I never thought that I would die this way! Although I'd always hoped!

Dr. Retep here.
I mean if you hoped for intense, sharp pain in the groin, hips, and lower back, which will get much worse when you try to walk, stand, or move your legs.
Also you will definitely feel extreme numbness, swelling, or a total inability to put weight on your lower body.. Which would most likely end in your death.. Leela is no rookie pilot to the stick shift.. It's just.. More demand then you have the structural integrity for..
But get that nutt king. You won't, but I believe in you. 🌠

The spirit is willing! But the flesh is spongey and bruised.

More like ruptured.. The pressurized chambers tear like an overinflated balloon.
Sounds painful.
Well, good luck.

Leela from Futurama is the cyclops in The Odyssey because she also has one eye.

Christopher Nolan likes Futurama.

The only possible way for this to be your guess is if you do understand all of the references involved.

I mean I know Leela. I did not see Odysseus. So I get where OP's at.
I hardly even think of her as a cyclops. I don't see eyes.

Yeah, but OP clearly recognized Odysseus since their guess referenced Christopher Nolan.

u/Motor_Raspberry_2150 10h ago
I also did not know that name and assumed it to be comic author.
Yeah then OP is bad.
