Acis and Galatea

Artist: Charles de la Fosse (French, 1636-1716)

Date: 1699-1704

Medium: Oil on Copper Plate

Collection: Museo del Prado, Madrid, Spain

Acis and Galatea

Acis and Galatea gaze in amazement at the Cyclops Polyphemus , who appears on the top of the mountains. The scene takes place in the middle of a shady, wooded landscape, next to a stream. Acis holds Galatea in his arms , who, naked from the waist up, leans on him. The work is excellent in terms of its stylistic conception and the figures of the two young people are treated in detail with correctness and good taste. The workmanship, the forms and the tonal variety, in the Rubenian tradition, give the painting a modern, multi-faceted character, which is joined by the contribution of the rich pictorial material.

Epic if Odysseus had kept the braincell he had in the trojan war

[lunameimei]

So that's basically what happened in "The Cyclops Saga" right ?

epic odysseus: no athena i will not "finish it." mercy is a skill more of this world could learn to use

odysseus in the odyssey, shouting from his ship as his men beg him to stfu: lF ONLY I COULD STEAL YOUR LIFE FROM YOU, AND SEND YOU DOWN TO HADES' HOUSE BELOW, AS SURE NOBODY WILL EVER HEAL YOU, EVEN THE GOD OF EARTHQUAKES!

[shebeafancyflapjack]

Polyphemus: I would like to thank you for this lovely wine, Nobody!

Odysseus: I'm so glad we see eye to eye.

Polyphemus, a cyclops who has heard that joke done to death:

Polyphemus: Y'know, I was gonna let you all go but, screw it, just for that I'm eating your bestie.

Polyphemus @ Odysseus after being blinded

Manwhore AU headcanon

I like to believe Manwhore Ody got home shortly after the war ended because he didn't have to deal with any of the bullshit that canon Ody has to deal with.

Like imagine: if only he seduced his way out of the whole Polyphemus situation, he wouldn't have pissed off Poseidon, meaning he would've got home pretty much immediately.

I'm not even saying he had to fuck Poly (he'd die), but he could've used his babygirl looks or something. Be like "I'm sorry about your sheep, pookie *bats eyelashes*", but no. He just had to abandon all reason and blind the cyclops before telling him his full legal name and address.

[marvelmaniac715]

'Polyphemus' from Epic the musical if Polyphemus was a biblically accurate angel:

Odysseus: I'm so glad we see eye to eye to eye to eye to eye to eye to eye to eye to eye to eye to eye to eye to eye to eye to eye to eye to eye to eye to eye to eye to eye to eye to eye to eye to eye to eye to eye to eye to eye to eye to eye to eye to eye to eye to eye to eye to eye to eye... Polites: Is he going to stop? Eurylochus: No, I think he's going to count every eye...
