Cyclops - Euripides


Argument

On the return of Odysseus from Troy to Ithaca, he was blown off course to Sicily, where Polyphemus and the Cyclops dwelt. Meeting with Silenus and the Satyrs, who had been enslaved to Polyphemus, he sought to purchase meat and cheese in exchange for wine. Polyphemus entering, Silenus accused Odysseus of stealing, and offering violence to himself and his companions. All would have perished, but Odysseus and his sailors bored out the one eye of the sleeping Polyphemus, and thereby escaped, liberating the Satyrs. The plot is entirely Homeric.
