More about the book
The play centers on Odysseus' fateful encounter with the Cyclops, Polyphemus, incorporating the comedic elements of Satyr drama. Silenus, the elderly leader of the Satyrs, seeks a carefree life filled with wine and nymphs, while his group provides humorous commentary from a safe distance. Their enslavement by Polyphemus adds tension, but the narrative remains light-hearted, culminating in Odysseus' escape alongside Silenus and the Satyrs. This unique translation highlights the blend of myth and humor within the traditional storyline.
