Циклоп: классическая греческая сатира с мифологическими элементами

Written in the fifth century BCE, Euripides' Cyclops is the only complete satyr play to survive from ancient Greece — a raucous, wine-soaked, and wickedly funny reimagining of Homer's most terrifying episode. When Odysseus arrives on the island of the one-eyed giant Polyphemus, he finds a creature whoworships only his own belly and has enslaved a chorus of satyrs desperate for liberation. What follows is a battle of wits, wine, and survival that transforms one of antiquity's darkest myths into irresistible comic theatre. Inside this edition you'll discover: Perfect for students of classical literature, lovers of Greek mythology, and readers drawn to the roots of Western comedy and drama. Nearly two and a half millennia after its first performance, Euripides' vision of appetite, intelligence, and the fragile line between civilization and savagery has lost none of its power. Step into the world of Euripides' only surviving satyr play — and discover why the ancients knew that the finest comedy lives closest to the dark.
