Odysseus and the Cyclops!

This is an ancient tale indeed! It comes from one of the most famous books in the world, Homer's ODYSSEY. The hero of our tale, Odysseus, lands on a strange island and soon becomes the captive of the giant one-eyed monster Polyphemus. The vivid nature of this story made it a favorite of the ancient Greeks, and the scene of the blinding of the cyclops, which I have illustrated here, is one that has been reproduced over and over again for hundreds and hundreds of years-isn't that amazing!!? We must warn listeners that this episode involved the Cyclops hosting a BBQ of some poor greek soldiers! It is an old story and they were often the most gruesome- I think older kids will relish the adventure in this one, however, and so to them, I pass the story on!!
