Polyphemus the Cyclops, N. C. Wyeth Odyssey Framed Print (1929)
They had escaped. But Odysseus wants the Cyclops to know his name, so he shouts it from the boat, and the Cyclops has a father who rules the sea.
For anyone who has survived the monster and learned what pride costs on the way home.
Ready to hang: an 8 × 10 in framed print in a white or black wood frame. At home in a study or den, or as a gift for someone with a bold streak and a few good stories.
