Abstract

This poem is inspired by and in response to Homer’s Odyssey. It builds on Polyphemos’ speech to his favourite ram (9.447-460), the sympathetic tone of which is an example of the ambivalence and ambiguity towards the Cyclops and the eponymous hero Odysseus that is evident throughout Homer’s epic poem and which I analyse in my critical essay in this same issue.
