Euripides
Kyklops is a satyr play by Euripides. It is unique as the only complete satyr play to have survived from ancient Greece. The play presents a comedic take on the encounter between Odysseus and the Cyclops Polyphemus, as recounted in Homer’s 'Odyssey.' In Euripides’ version, the story is infused with humor and elements of farce, characteristic of the satyr play genre. The chorus is composed of satyrs, mythical creatures known for their revelry and mischievous behavior. This edition offers readers the chance to engage with a significant piece of classical dramatic literature, showcasing Euripides’ skill in blending tragedy and comedy.
