Description

A quick retelling of the fall of Troy (showing the wooden horse), and the visit to the Land of the Lotus-Eaters, where the desire to dream sweet dreams overcomes many of the Greeks until Odysseus has them forcibly brought aboard his boats again. Crossing the wine-dark sea, they come to the Land of the Cyclops where they come a-cropper of Polyphemus, the murderous giant who disobeys the law of the gods to be hospitable to strangers. Only the cunning of Odysseus saves the Greeks, and, as the rosy-fingered dawn approaches, they escape.
