Portrait of Polyphemus

Published: January 15th 2025, 5:12:26 am

One of my favorite characters from mythological literature, this is the cyclops Polyphemus. He was featured in the Odyssey of course, but has also been in plays and poems as a lover. Sometimes he loves women, notably the sea nymph Galatea, but other times he was written as a lover of men as well like the old satyr Silenus. Anyway today I worked on this portrait of the monster, but might do more with him later this month. :)
