Euripides' Cyclops is the only example of Attic satyr-drama which survives intact and brilliantly dramatises the famous story from Homer's Odyssey of how Odysseus blinded the Cyclops after making him drunk. This full literary and linguistic commentary on the play is suitable for both advanced students and scholars.

Euripides'' Cyclops is the only example of Attic satyr-drama which survives intact. It is a brilliant dramatisation of the famous story from Homer''s Odyssey of how Odysseus blinded the Cyclops after making him drunk. The play has much to teach us, not just about satyr-drama, but also about the reception and adaptation of Homer in classical Athens; the brutal savagery of the Homeric monster is here replaced by an ironised presentation of Athenian social custom. Problems of syntax, metre and language are fully explained, and there is a sophisticated literary discussion of the play. This edition will be of interest to advanced undergraduates and graduate students studying Greek literature, as well as to scholars.
