Abstract
AbstractSince Polyphemus's appearance in The Odyssey nearly three millennia ago, the cyclops has been always linked to the human imagination. Ancient sources for the depiction of a cyclops are numerous. Although Homer's classical poem appears to be the earliest, other Greek and Latin authors mention this group of oddly visaged giants with one large eye in the middle of their foreheads.

Throughout this session I will try to solve this question.
