A Cyclops is popularly assumed to be nothing more than a flesh-eating, one-eyed monster. In an accessible and academically authoritative investigation, this book explores the depth and subtlety of their mythology and reception, from classical antiquity to the present day, to demonstrate that there is far more to the monster than meets the eye
