"Head of Polyphemos" (c. 150 B.C.) ⦿ Hellenistic marble ~ MFA
I love the cyclops verse in monster, it gives me such a funny picture
“‘On Sight, Song, and Servitude’ A true hero sees the world; not as they want it to be, but as it truly is. They know joy now; only by enduring, and besting, life’s sorrows. And history will never die; for it lives steadfast in a true hero’s heart.”
— Kassandra, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey
Head of Polyphemos. This head comes from a group, probably of the blinding of Polyphemos, similar to that constructed from fragments found in the grotto at Sperlonga, along the Italian coast southwest of Rome. Polyphemos is based, in details of hair and beard, on a Pergamene centaur. The sculptor was wise in rejecting the older tradition, once seen in Hellenistic terracottas, of showing the monstrous giant as a kind of fat-faced baboon, with large ears and his eye set like a beacon light in the middle of his forehead. Here the rugged, animal power of the creature has been stressed.
Not to be dramatic or anything but I would literally die for Polyphemos
I know I’m not the only one who would spend the whole day fishing with him :’)

Hallo, hier was Neues: Wilde Abenteuer im Orient zur Zeit der Römer. Fast so wild wie im Wilden Kurdistan.
DER MORD UND DAS MÄDCHEN
Und hier der Link:
Viele Abenteuer und leider auch einige Morde:
DER MORD UND DAS MÄDCHEN
Sagen wir, ein junger Mann entführt seine heimliche Geliebte. Was muss er da beachten, auf welche Hürden, auf welche Dramen muss er sich gefasst machen? Nun, zum Beispiel auf Gefangennahme durch Piraten. Auf Versklavung mittels Sklavenmarkt. Auf Trennung von seinem Mädchen, wohl für immer. Auf überraschendes Wiederfinden, noch dazu im Bett einer leibhaftigen Königin. Und worauf noch? Natürlich, auf Kerker. Und auf Mord. Auf Mord in vielfältiger Ausführung. Zumindest gilt das alles für die alten Römer.
