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!!
