Cyclops: Difference between revisions

[[Cyclops]] (Ancient Greek: [[Κύκλωψ]], Kyklōps) is an ancient Greek [[satyr]] [[play]] by [[Euripides]], based closely on an episode from the Odyssey. It would have been the fourth part of a tetralogy presented by Euripides in a dramatic festival in 5th Century BC Athens. The date of its composition is unknown, but it was probably written late in Euripides' career. It is the only complete and extant satyr play.
