The Cyclops is a play written by Percy Bysshe Shelley, an English Romantic poet and dramatist. The play is a satirical parody of the Greek mythological story of Polyphemus, the one-eyed giant Cyclops who is blinded by the hero Odysseus in Homer's epic poem, The Odyssey.In Shelley's version, Polyphemus is portrayed as a comical and bumbling character who is obsessed with his own physical strength and prowess. He is also depicted as being in love with a sea-nymph named Galatea, who is not interested in him and instead falls in love with a mortal man named Acis.The play explores themes of jealousy, love, and the power dynamics between gods and mortals. It is written in a light and humorous style, with witty wordplay and clever puns throughout. The characters are exaggerated and caricatured, adding to the comedic tone of the play.Overall, The Cyclops is a unique and entertaining take on a classic mythological story, showcasing Shelley's talent for both poetry and drama.CYCLOPS: Ye lie; for my part I put more faith in him than Rhadamanthus, declaring him more just. But I have some questions to ask. Whence sailed ye, strangers? of what country are you? what city was it nursed your childhood?This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
