Odysseus and the Cyclops
Loading...
Uploaded by Yanitsaros on Apr 19, 2009
The song is ΔΕ Σ'AΦΗΝΩ - de s'afino (I won't let you go) by Giannis Parios (ΓΙΑΝΝΗΣ ΠΑΡΙΟΣ).
The Cyclopes (Κύκλωπες) were mythological creatures who had one eye. In Homer's Odyssey, the Greek hero Odysseus (Ὀδυσσεύς) lands on an island and encounters a Cyclops (Κύκλωψ) called Polyphemus (Πολύφημος). The cyclops closes his cave with a boulder, and then proceeds to eat Odysseus's crew. What the Greek hero does is give him strong wine, and when the Cyclops fell asleep, the Greeks gouged Polyphemus's eye. To escape, they grabbed on to the wool of sheep as they were allowed out to eat.
This event earned the wrath of Poseidon, who tried to take revenge on Odysseus, which led to his other trials and adventures.

I am from Catania ... I saw every day the "Faraglioni" of Polyphemus!
They are born of effusive rocks from submarine volcanoes ...
While the legend of Polyphemus, was born from skeletons skulls that the Greeks found in Sicily: they were of dwarf elephants that lived in Sicily ...
the eye, was in fact the cavity of the trunk ...
But to the ancient Greeks seemed to only one eye!

Εγω φιλε Yanitsare πιστευω οτι η ελληνικη μυθολογια περιγραφει αληθινα γεγονοτα απλως τα παραραλασσει λιγακι

I like your perspective on this, the meaning was well thought out . Every aspect of life has a Greek myth pertaining to it.

Yes I know it, i think only a few people understand, that the most of greek mythology is metaphorical explination
