Euripides' Cyclops is the only example of Attic satyr-drama which survives intact. It is a brilliant dramatisation of the famous story from Homer's Odyssey of how Odysseus blinded the Cyclops after making him drunk.

This edition will be of interest to advanced undergraduates and graduate students studying Greek literature, as well as to scholars.
