Κύκλωψ by Euripides
QR code
"Κύκλωψ" by Euripides is a satyr play likely written in the 5th century BC. The only complete satyr play to survive, it follows Odysseus and his crew as they encounter the brutal Cyclops Polyphemus after losing their way home from Troy. When the giant begins devouring his men, Odysseus must devise a cunning plan involving wine and deception. Blending Homer's Odyssey with comic satyrs and philosophical debate, the play explores themes of
justice, power, and excess while potentially commenting on contemporary Athenian politics. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
