By Homer

Where the Iliad ends…

The Odyssey Begins

The Cyclops

Not to be confused with… Cyclop- kitty!

Not what you think!

It begins with an invocation to the muse

The Muses Calliope--the muse of epic poetry Clio--the muse of history Erato--the muse of love poetry Euterpe--the muse of lyric poetry Melpomene--the muse of tragedy Polyhymnia--the muse of songs of praise to the gods Terpsichore--the muse of choral songs and dance Thalia--the muse of comedy Urania--the muse of astronomy

"Sing to me of the man, Muse, the man of twists and turns driven time and again off course, once he had plundered the hallowed heights of Troy. "Many cities of men he saw and learned their minds, many pains he suffered, heartsick on the open sea, fighting to save his life and bring his comrades home. But he could not save them from disaster, hard as he strove - the recklessness of their own ways destroyed them all, the blind fools, they devoured the cattle of the Sun and the Sun god blotted out the day of their return. "Launch out on his story, Muse, daughter of Zeus, start from where you will - sing for our time too."
