A review by dolorsitamet
Cyclops by Euripides
3.0
But how am I supposed to review this properly? It'd be like asking someone to rank something within a new genre without ever experiencing it before.
As the only surviving satyr play, I guess there's nothing I can do about that. It's all a bit absurd. They're sillier shorter plays, so history tells us, with drunken satyrs dressed with erect phalluses as the chorus. (...Uh, okay.)
So the contrast here of this with odysseus and his epic fight with a cyclops is certainly..novel. I can't call it good or bad without thinking a bit longer, but am glad to have learned more what the genre is about by experiencing it
