When Cronus is introducing the heroes by their ancestors' names to Polyphemus, he introduces Atlanta as 'Atalanta' even though that is not what is metioned in the main title. This is because the opening titles are actually incorrect. (edit)

Quotes

Jay: Push it, Odie! We're on the home stretch!
Odie: (Panting heavily) How... long's... a home stretch? (edit)
Neil: (shouting) Hey, guys! I think the cyclops went this way!

Atlanta: Why?

Neil: Uhhh... because his giant footprints are going this way!
(The camera zooms out to reveal, in fact, that Neil is standing in one of Polyphemus's footprints, which are leading in that direction) (edit)
(Herry is describing Polythemus to the rest of the team.)

Herry: Anyways, this guy was HUGE! The next thing we knew, he was lobbing lightening bolts at us! One weird thing was that he called Odie, "Odysseus".

Chiron: (in deep thought) Hmmmmm.....

Herry: Oh yeah, and he only had one eye!

Neil: Ah-hah! Than it was a pirate! (then, thinking) But what would a giant pirate want with Odie and Jay?
(Neil considers this while the others groan at his comment) (edit)
(Herry and Atlanta both get their power replenished by Polyphemus's orb and they both exclaim that it works great)

Neil: (has the orb used on him) Funny... I don't feel any different (edit)
Theresa: So, Archie, what's it like being perfect? (being sarcastic)

Archie: Well, it has it's...

Theresa: (annoyed, and clears her throat) I was being sarcastic!

Archie: Oh, I knew that! (edit)

Allusions

The title of this episode possibly came from the Biblical term "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth". The meaning behind it is that whatever negative action you do to a person, there should be equal punishment for it. This relates to the story when Polyphemus wanted revenge on Odysseus for blinding him. His initial feeling was that he had no pride in his vengence, but justice had to be done. (edit)
At the beginning of the episode, Polyphemus is shown working as a blacksmith forging thunderbolts. In Greek mythology, Polythemus was actually a shepherd like the other cyclopes living on the same island. The metalwork, however, is probably an allusion to the original three cyclopes who did work as blacksmiths for the gods and forged Zeus' thunderbolts. (edit)

Not only is Archie draging on Theresa for her visions but Odie and Jay get captured! The team might have a chance to free their teammates if only Archie would stop being a jerk.

Eye For An Eye
"Well written"
This episode shows how Theresa's visions are considered to be a tad overdramatic, and although particular people are rude about it *cough, ARCHIE, cough cough*, she proves them wrong by saving the day using her brains, and her visions.
