The cyclops, Polyphemus, hurls a boulder towards Odysseus and his crew.
The Cyclops (best known for his encounter with Odysseus in Homer鈥檚 Odyssey) was a figure who captured the imaginations of authors and audiences in the classical world. In this talk, Reina E. Callier will explore the Cyclops鈥� appearances in texts ranging from archaic Greece to the early Roman Empire, revealing the ways in which this monstrous character was adapted and interpreted by different authors.
